THE BRIDGE IS OVER is a comprehensive electronic resource for educators and youth workers packed with innovative techniques, ideas, and concepts to engage youth using the power of words. This exciting endeavor comes in response to the growing questions of our times: How do we connect youth with literature and foster an appreciation of words?
In an effort to encourage and inspire youth to read and use the power of their voice, Grammy® winner, actor and children's author Common, launches the first national online book club at www.commongroundfoundation.org/thecorner.html. The Corner book club is an interactive way for 8th-12th grade students to learn and to talk about reading materials that are relevant to their life.
We are so excited. The second issue of THE BRIDGE IS OVER is ready! And it's bigger and better!
During the very rainy Baltimore Book Festival (which we need to blog about), I had the chance to interview Ron Kavanaugh of Mosaic Literary Magazine. Ron has been in the game for 10 years and counting.
So there's been lots of talk about the lack of titles for African American teens. BackListed recently discussed what HOTLANTA co-author Denene Millner called a "dearth of books written for African-American teens."
BackList TV: Episode 0
As another attempt to connect with all you word lovers out there, BackList is starting to create video blogs. This first episode is an introduction to all the changes we're experiencing, but also includes a segment highlighting books. Bear with us, we're new to this. So the quality may be a tad, uh, experimental (read: low budget).
BackList and I are featured in the September/October issue of Upscale magazine. Jennifer Hudson graces the cover.
One of our favorite literary events is rapidly approaching. The Baltimore Book Festival will take place September 26-28. BackList will be exhibiting. We'll be selling copies of my book, providing more information on many of services, selling copies of our newest resource The Bridge is Over, and much much more!
