What's Your Business?

I am currently working on publishing my poetry and non-fiction pieces. I am set to publish my chapbook shortly and have started my own epublishing company called Imara Ushairi Publishing Co. I am in the process of developing the site and printing my book. I am also planning recording my poetry later this fall.

About Me:

I graduated from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.A. in English Literature and Afro-American Studies. I currently live and work in the Chapel Hill area and I am finally trying to develop my work for publication. I have been writing for over 10 years, occasionally have done freelance assignments, but I want to branch out now. I want to create and develop a website for my work. I've always wanted to start a black woman's writing network, an online site for black women to post their work, talk to their readers in forums and promote their work.
