AA Lit Survey
As a follow up to the cloud of dissatisfaction that hung over the Harlem Book Fair concerning the overabundance of one genre (Street Lit) representing the whole of African American literature, Lawrence, the founder of Kulturefirst.com and host of WHCR’s Technocolor Radio Show has created a short survey to tap into the minds of readers. An excerpt from his email is below:
BWGA.org and Kulturefirst.com are happy to present the 1st
public Internet sponsored survey for the African American Literary
World. Please take a minute to fill out this 7 question survey.
The goal is to reach 5,000 -10,000 readers. After the survey is completed the analysis of the
survey results will be available for download.
