MEMPHIS, TN. (October 16, 2022) — End Game Press is pleased to announce that Harambee Press will join the team as their newest imprint this Fall. Harambee Press pursues publishing ethnic writers in order to share their words and stories with the literary world.
Edwina Perkins, the Managing Editor for Harambee Press, is passionate about seeing ethnic writers represented well in the publishing industry and enjoys mentoring writers, as well as, speaking to audiences about this opportunity. End Game Press is looking forward to supporting her efforts and raising up this ethnic voice.
“African American culture is rooted in the art of storytelling,” said Perkins. “Laced within each breath of our ancestors, entwined within the stories they told, our culture has endured. For people of color, our common history has been a means to come together. Or, like the Swahili word harambee teaches, to pull together. Out of this truth, Harambee Press was born.”
“As a team, I can’t express to you just how excited we are about partnering with Harambee Press and sharing these stories while advocating for diversity,” said Victoria Duerstock, owner of End Game Press. “And personally, I am thrilled to welcome a friend and trusted industry colleague to the team!”
