On the second day of the 2022 U.S. Book Show, four boundary-breaking debut memoirists spoke about their books, representation for Black women in media, and more in a panel cosponsored by PW and Amazon Publishing.
PW, in partnership with Amazon Publishing, presents this panel scheduled for May 25, 1:30–2:30 p.m. ET, and moderated by Regina Brooks, the founder and president of Serendipity Literary Agency in which Cin Fabré, Bria Adimora Godley, Danielle Prescod, and Aomawa Shields discuss their experiences as Black women in corporate America and beyond, how they came to write and sell their memoirs, and what audiences can expect from their forthcoming books. “This panel will spotlight an essential conversation,” says Julia Sommerfeld, publisher at Amazon Publishing. “And it will continue to bolster the need for more of these underrepresented stories across industries.”
