SLS Paradigm Shift
Moving Literature to New Dimensions
Virtual Book Tour Stop for EDC Creations
Thank you for entering the SLS Pradigm Shift: Moving African-American Literature to New Dimensions. Come inside and explore resources about African-American relationships, communities, books, authors, and creative writing.
Also, providing readers with a “behind the book look” at the life and times of today’s writers and authors. Do you want to write a book? Do you want to share your poetry? You have made the Shift….now flaunt it!
We would like for anyone who joins SLS Paradigm Shift … to develop and/or have a voice. Voice is so important for writers, poets, authors, and for us as African Americans who have been so long denied, and still are not given opportunities to speak our heart felt truths. I believe this is why so many African Americans have turned to self-publishing–not only for the financial freedom, but also the most celebrated artistic freedom. All within will be nurtured, cultivated, and supported along with the writers who join and participate in SLS Paradigm Shift.
Our mission here at SLS Paradigm Shift… is for you to see an increase in how much you are writing, for us to help you to finish the projects your start either on paper or in your head, and to become the writer you want to be, the best writer you can be, a person who is living the full potential of a writing life.
Our aim is to energize you to achieve the goals of your heart and soul through your membership and participation of SLS Paradigm Shift…That you will tell others and they will join and that we all will be helped to write to our hearts’ content.
Thank you,
Ella Curry, president of EDC Creations
SLS Paradigm Shift: Moving Literature to New Dimensions 
Meet The Sankofa Literary Society
For more details visit here.
Sankofa is an Akan word that means, “We must go back and reclaim our past so we can move forward; so we understand why and how we came to be who we are today.” The symbol is based on a mythical bird that flies forwards with its head turned backwards. This reflects the Akan belief that the past serves as a guide for planning the future, or the wisdom in learning from the past in building the future.
The Akan believe that there must be movement with the times, but as the forward march proceeds, the gems must be picked from behind and carried forward on the march. We give thanks to all those who helped us get to where we are today. This group “must go back and bring forth” all those who have a dream and are not afraid to work at seeing it in living color.
The Sankofa Literary Society and EDC Creations provides authors, artists, reviewers, journalist and book clubs, innovative website design advice, marketing and branding tips with a special focus on the African American literary community. We provide a venue, in the spirit of Sankofa, to showcase our newcomers and old friends in the literary world. The SLS was founded by Ella Curry, the owner of EDC Creations to give back to the literary community the things she has learned while building her vast literary network.

Hi all great information here and good thread to comment on.
I am an adict to training and really want to get to my best this year!
Can I ask though – how did you get this picked up and into google news?
Very impressive that this blog is syndicated through Google and is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?
Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..
Hello Ella,
I encourage you to continue what you do to help others. You are blessing lives of those you will never meet.
Linda!
Thank you Linda! I so love your spirit of giving. It feels like we are kindred spirits! Ella Curry, EDC Creations
Greetings, Mrs. Curry.
I am a children’s book author of a groundbreaking new books series published by Scholastic.
The first two books of RUBY AND THE BOOKERS BOYS were released on July 1st of this year. Brand New School, brave new Ruby and Trivia Queen Third Grade Supreme have done extremely well and will be joined soon by book three on October 1st (The Slumber Party Payback).
Ruby Booker is an eight year old talented, intelligent, sassy fashionista that will do anything to step out of the shadows of her superstar big brothers (the Booker boys). Ultimately, the series is about love of self, family, and community. Ruby and her fam, a young, Black, progressive family , fill a void in children’s lit that have been missing for years.
I was just wondering how could I land an interview on the Black author network?
I look forward to hearing from you. Please, continue all of the amazing work you do for Black authors.
peace and blessings
Derrick Barnes
