About Us

---

At Bartonbell Publishing, we are a dynamic community and an inspiring refuge dedicated to amplifying the voices of Black women and women of color. As an independent LLC, we showcase the rich stories, and experiences within BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities through writing, photography, and art."

Our mission is to create a literary landscape that celebrates diverse storytelling within the BIPOC community to foster understanding, and empowerment among all individuals, while championing the voices that have historically been marginalized and overlooked.

We introduce readers and art enthusiasts worldwide to the remarkable talents of Black women and women of color who go beyond boundaries to inspire and enlighten through their artistic expression.

We firmly believe that authentic representation of diverse groups in literature and the arts cultivates self-healing, fosters vibrant communities, and promotes global acceptance.
