Glory Edim is the founder of Well-Read Black Girl. A creative community
dedicated to Black women.
Our goal is to introduce a cohort of diverse writers to future generations – contemporary authors who are non-binary, queer, trans, and disabled. To address inequalities and improve communities through reading and reflecting on the works of Black women.

WRBG Books
Well-Read Black Girl: Finding Our Stories is a collection of inspiring essays by Black women on the importance of recognizing ourselves in literature. Each contribution to the anthology is thoughtful and thorough and creates both a time capsule and artifact of memories in literature. The anthology has received high praise from The NAACP, Oprah, Glamour, Washington Post, Cosmo, EW, ESSENCE and more.
This October Glory Edim returns with On Girlhood: 15 Stories from the Well-Read Black Girl Library. It is a beautifully curated canonical work centering the voices of young Black characters as they contend with innocence, belonging, love, and self-discovery
