African-Americans. We currently have an

The
RAWSISTAZ Reviewers with a repository of over 5000 reviews,
and local chapters in eight major cities. In addition are

The 6th Annual Event (The RAWSISTAZ Affair
2007) was held September 7-9, 2007, in Atlanta, GA at the
beautiful Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel. Our theme was
"It's a Family Affair" and we had a wonderful time sharing
with our literary family.
A special thanks to our keynote
speakers:
Gwynne
Forster,
Travis Hunter,
Toschia,
and all the featured authors, readers (especially the ladies of
WEBB
BookClub), and other attendees of our event. As
evidenced throughout the weekend, there's nothing like FAMILY!
Also, we thank
The Divine Literary Tour for sponsoring our event and
taking a part in the celebration. To the many authors,
publishers, and other literary professionals who supported our
event by sending in promotional materials, who support RAWSISTAZ
and who support African-American Authors, we thank you as well.
We also extend our gratitude to
B's Books & More, event booksellers, who ensured books were
present, despite the death in your family. Our continued
prayers to you and your family.
Thanks also to Pittershawn
Palmer of Iambia Media, our souvenir ad booklet designer
and Guy at the Sugar Hill UPS store. You made us
shine!
