What is Book-Remarks.com?

Book-Remarks.com is a top viewed web site that promotes literary works which may reflect the African-American culture. In addition to posting information regarding new releases by mainstream as well as self-published writers, we also provide readers with book previews, book reviews, postings about upcoming literary events, a list of anticipated releases for the current year and beyond, and press releases regarding events, awards, and other related web content.

The web site was launched in March 2000 in order to promote books written by or about African-Americans. BookRemarks is not a book club, but an online resource that posts literary information of interest to readers and writers.

This website was founded and is maintained by author Cydney Rax. I am the contact for all information regarding everything on the website.
