Black Love Matters
PHS Managing Editor Ali Williams recommends black romance authors for you to populate your TBR with!
I'm not going to try and tell you about the impact of trashfire that has been surrounding the announcement of the RITA shortlist, and the inclusion of only three authors of colour. There are many black authors who are already articulating this far better than I ever could. Check out tweets from:
So right now, at PHS, we want to highlight that our black author siblings who are writing romance are doing an incredible job. They write books that are funny and heart-wrenching and unbelievably well written. They make us laugh and cry and they should for damn sure be taking up space on your TBR.
Brace yourselves—and your bank accounts—for an entire article of romance author recommendations that are going to get you one-clicking and celebrating black romance novels. I've ordered them alphabetically, and below the author's name I've colour-coded the romance subgenres that they write, so you can find the your favourite types of romances quicker:
- Contemporary
- Erotic
- Historical
- All Things Magical (Paranormal / Fantasy / Science Fiction / Speculative / Time Slip)
- Romantic Suspense
