50 words or less how would you describe your blog? My blog's aim is to promote the written work of both new and established Latino/a authors and to celebrate the richness and diversity of Hispanic literature.
What do you hope readers will gain, find or enjoy because they’ve visited your blog? I want my readers to discover new Latino/a authors. You can't expect people to buy what they don't know about, so my job is to let them know what's out there when it comes to Hispanic literature.COLA- Color Online Love Alert. Find links to blogs, books and articles written by women of color or news about awards and articles celebrating the work of women of color writers, poets, artists and activists. We'll also feature multicultural publishers. Check the sidebar regularly for new COLA links.

This is great. Susan, thanks for introduction. Now I have a new blog to visit.
Hi Susan, I appreciate you highlighting Mayra because I think she's quite a special person. She and I work @LatinoBookNews together. She writes the article, does the interviews, and I post the URL. Got it easy, don't I?!?!?! lol
Mayra is very dedicated to promoting and honoring all things written by Latino/as and keeping all of us up to date on what is current in Latino Literature. I know she pours her heart and soul into making sure that everyone gets a chance to shine in the spotlight on the examiner.
Thank you again for highlighting Mayra. She well deserves the honor.
