About

This is a place where readers can meet African American independent authors, illustrators and publishers of children books… join us on our journey as we create new characters and worlds.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for stopping by and checking out our books. My name is Jacquitta A. McManus and when I started my journey to build my publishing company, Worlds To Discover, I found a big void that I was compelled to help fill.

For African American authors, illustrators and publishers of children books, there is a lack of places that are dedicated to helping to promote them specifically. I personally found that to be a problem. I knew if it was a problem for me then it had to be a problem for others.  That void and lack of presence is why Inside The Books was formed. A place that I hope will give a voice to those on a similar journey as myself. And as I share my journey in building my publishing company this site will also help me to share others.

If you are an author, illustrator or publisher please introduce yourself and use all the resources on the Inside The Books website to help you on your journey. If you are a reader, I want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us and for being a part of our journey. Please leave comments and share.

Warmly,

JMcManus
