The Black Authors Network (BAN) is dedicated to providing information to help
black business owners and authors gain access to the black consumer and to
helping promote the growth of black businesses and literature.
The
Black Authors Network, is here to bring people together, to create a
dialogue, and share valuable resources. Our goal is to be the most informative
networking group, serving the unique needs of African American authors,
businesses, organizations, and concerned parents who wish to improve literacy
and strengthen the African American community.
The Black Authors Network Talk Show was formed to immediately address the need
for quality African American literature being made available in our bookstores,
libraries and other mediums where our literary works are showcased. We want to
combine our talents, true determination, and multitude of resources, in an
effort to develop a literary networking system for our members and literary
partners, who support the freedom of speech and the right to take back the PRIDE
in our communities. Join us in this global movement to improve literacy and our
nations' image!
We will encourage, inspire, and empower our members, as they strive to fulfill
their dreams of becoming successful entrepreneurs, published authors, and
community leaders. Join us in this effort by spreading the word to your network
about the BAN movement and discussions.
BAN is currently seeking book clubs, community leaders and educators to
participate in special panel discussions through out the year. If you would like
to take part in our web casts, radio shows and community discussions, please

If you want to share a cause or event that is important to our global
