As I am about to embark on my Great West Coast Adventure (starting with a three day cross-country train to Vancouver, would you believe it), I must bid farewell to the ABW. It’s been an educational experience, to say the least. I don’t know if I really have the constitution for regular blogging, but it [...]
Hello, ABW readers!
I’m Alaya, as the Angry Black Woman already said, and though I read plenty of blogs, I don’t blog myself. I hope to make the most of this opportunity!
Here’s some of what particularly interests me:
Literature, in pretty much all genres (I write fantasy and science fiction, mostly, but I will read almost anything). [...]
Through the end of this month into August we’re going to have another guest blogger: author Alaya Dawn Johnson. You may remember Alaya from her guest post a couple of years ago during Black History Month.
Alaya’s first book, Racing the Dark, is available now in hardback and will be out soon in paperback. She also [...]
I’m starting a new regular feature here on the ABW (and also on the Carl Brandon Society blog) wherein I list all of the SF/F/H short fiction by writers of color published each month.
We used to do a similar thing on the SFBookswap blog for women writers (online only, though) and I always wanted to [...]
In an effort to give you as many ways of reading our awesome blog as is possible, we’re now also publishing a Kindle edition. You can subscribe to The Angry Black Woman for $1.99/month and it will be delivered wirelessly to your fancy Amazon-branded eReader. Now you can read ABW on the train home from [...]
Remember last year when I opened up the blog to several guest bloggers for Black History Month? That was so awesome. I enjoyed having new voices on the blog and the great conversations and thoughts they inspired. From that exercise we gained a new permanent guest, Karnythia, and it whet my appetite for more. So [...]
Now that we’re all settled in to the new blog space and I’m finally able to spend some time making things look more ABW-ish, I’d like to do something about our headers. Currently we have some rotating nature pictures which are pretty, but not very us. I could modify the old header and stick it [...]
Something I’ve been meaning to post/clear up for a while. Many regular readers know this, but for those who don’t: there are three women who regularly post on this site. There’s me, the original Angry Black Woman, then there’s nojojojo/Nora and Karnythia. For a long time N & K have been doing most of the [...]
You’re seeing the ABW on its new server. We’re still working out the kinks and getting the design the way we like it, so things will be up to speed in a few days.
