They're carrying the word

RedBone Press and Vintage Entity Press are co-publishing the second edition of Carry the Word: A Bibliography of Black LGBTQ Books for early fall 2010. If you have or know of a black LGBTQ/SGL book published since 2007, or an upcoming book to be published in 2010 (*it must already have an ISBN assigned*), please e-mail the following info to info@redbonepress.com by August 15, 2010:

We'd like to make sure Carry the Word is as complete as possible. We've already got a long list of titles, and want to make sure we're not missing anything.

If you're unsure whether the book belongs in the bibliography, here's the info from the jacket copy:

"Carry the Word is a seminal reference work, featuring over 600 titles by and about black Same-Gender-Loving (SGL) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer-Identified (LGBTQ) writers and culture, as well as interviews and articles about black SGL authors."

Feel free to pass the info on, and thank you for your assistance!
