History of AAMBC and the AAMBC Literary Awards AAMBC which stands for African Americans on the Move Book Club was created in February 2008 by a then twenty year old, Tamika Newhouse. What started as an online book club grew into a national Phenomenon. The sole purpose was to expose the unknown writer and to give them the opportunity to win accolades. A tradition still highly expressed to this very date, AAMBC still caters to the unknown writer. They have single handedly worked with well over six hundred writers’ new, seasoned, and considered celebrity status. From first time writers to nationally known they have consistently set the tone to support and promote black writers. In 2008 Tamika Newhouse launched the AAMBC Radio show a weekly based broadcast that lasted for over four years. During this time it had guest host and it interviewed new writers as well as popular writers such as Zane, Mary B Morrison, Francis Ray and Carl Weber. In the year of 2011 it hosted many controversial and highly sought out panel discussions that helped garner many writers careers. It went off the air in 2013. The annual AAMBC Literary Awards was launched in 2009 in San Antonio, Texas by the founder. Smaller ceremonies were then hosted in the years following in Chicago as well as in Baltimore in adjacent to various literary events. In 2015 the first inaugural red carpet ceremony will mark the first time ever the awards will receive its own limelight. With a host of events over the weekend AAMBC and its members and celebrities will create a weekend that will be life changing. To understand the importance of AAMBC’s presence in the book industry is to understand the value of supporting our black writers. The awards will serve as the premiere event the industry will talk about year after year. It will be blended with new writers to celebrity writers as well as musicians, celebrity actors, and more. • Purpose: To become an annual event that celebrates African American urban fiction, Christian, romance and contemporary authors and readers. • The AAMBC Literary Awards will be 2 day event.
