How We Began …

Written Voices

This site originally started as a monthly column by TheGRITS.com’s, Marlive Harris. Marlive, a former classroom teacher and school librarian in Texas, is fondly known among online literary circles as MsGRITS, an acronym for Ms Girl Raised/Reading In The South. It is her love for literature, African American Literature in particular, which led to the development of TheGRITS.com, an online reading community and book promotion service for readers, writers, and small presses. TheGRITS.com celebrates over 5 years of reading excellence online!
