Books Forward is an inclusive company that champions diverse author voices from all backgrounds. We do not tolerate hate, racism, violence or bigotry. We believe books move our world forward, and our authors have lasting influence.

I’m certain I made the right choice for me, for my book, and my style of communicating. There were things I never really imagined would happen and things I hoped would happen that did and still exceeded my expectations.
