This year, the American Booksellers Association is partnering with Well-Read Black Girl founder Glory Edim to bring book club meetings to independent bookstores nationwide with the goal of amplifying diverse voices and supporting emerging writers of color.

Booksellers are invited to sign on now to serve as ambassadors and host Well-Read Black Girl book clubs in their stores throughout the year. Email WRBG@bookweb.org to sign up to host a book club or to share ideas; be sure to include your name, store name, city, and state.
