This page is an attempt to list everything published in English by black authors in 2017. I hope it can serve as a baseline data point for surveys of publishing, and also as a resource for readers. Given how long it has taken me to compile this page I won't have time to do the same for other years! Hopefully, a crowdsourced project can do so. This list is still in a preliminary stage and will be expanded indefinitely.
Mia Mitns's Black [African] Speculative Fiction Writers "Directory" (available free) was helpful in compiling this; other sources include Maurice Broaddus's African Americans in Speculative Fiction – A Reading Primer; Graveyard Shift Sisters; Diverse Writers & Artists of Speculative Fiction; and the #BlackSpecFic discussions at Fireside Magazine and elsewhere. For African writers, see Wole Talabi's List of Published African SFF.
