curated for Black readers, amplifying Black authors always.

Literally Black is a virtual bookstore centering Black authors and Black creativity.
We sell books and other bookish goods you’d find in your favorite shop—like bookmarks, Kindle inserts, and the occasional curated stack. But more than a store, Literally Black is a gathering place.
Beyond the shelves, we host The Cookout—a membership that feels like a virtual cookout. We bring readers together for book club meetings in The Gazebo, late-night conversations at The Nightcap, and cultural experiences that celebrate Black joy and found family over on The Lawn.
