Thanks for this extraordinary literary movement! What you’ve brought to the table wasn’t there for us to partake of before. RAWSISTAZ has provided a venue for a contemporary renaissance that truly has opened the wellspring of both our literary appetites as readers and our gifts and talents as writers.

RAWSISTAZ is a wonderful organization that helps to bring both well-known and upcoming African American authors into the spotlight.  They are extremely supportive to both those who are struggling and those who have already achieved a level of success.  Word of mouth, particularly when it comes to the African American literary scene, is the most essential form of marketing books and RAWSISTAZ, along with founder Martina Royal, are at the forefront of this effort.    Zane, New York Times Bestselling Author of Skyscraper

THANK “YOU” and RAWSISTAZ!!! I don’t say that lightly and will keep saying it! No one has to support another person, a book, a cause, idea, etc. You support something I have enjoyed since I was a kid – BOOKS!!!

As a writer, it is an honor to be reviewed by Rawsistaz, but I must say, the Rawsistaz review of my book, Weeping Willows Dance, brought tears to my eyes, and the review of The Honey Well gave me shear joy. Thank you Tee for filling a need for crediable reviewers for black authors. Continued success.

I love this site, I love this book club, I love what you do for not just me, but for all the aspiring writers out there. You give us a voice, you help us find an audience and no author could ask for anything more than that. A place to call home, and readers to enjoy our words. You and the rest of the RAWSISTAZ team have been wonderful, and you guys really do a lot. I have watched and read email after emails about your schlepping baby Joy and the rest of your family across the country in support of us authors. How can we not be grateful for that? If not for people like you, where would we be? I just wanted you to know that I have noticed and I am cheering!

Dear Rawsistaz organization: (Eraina and Tee) Thank you for the excellent review of my book, Healing the Breach. This was my first official review! And boy was I pleasantly surprised. As an author there is nothing more gratifying than knowing that someone else “gets” what you were trying to articulate. I appreciate your promptness, your professionalism, and your comments. Tee, thanks for following your vision through to the end. You are a blessing to readers and writers everywhere. Eraina, thanks for taking the time to review my book, that means so much to me. You all have got a friend for life. Thanks again, Rosalind Stormer Author of Healing the Breach
