WELCOME! WELCOME!! WELCOME!!!
Welcome to SCBookGal & Friends Chat, the official blog of SCBookGal & Friends — your go-to hub for celebrating diverse voices in literature, uplifting Black authors, and creating authentic connections between writers, readers, and creatives from all walks of life.
Here, we’re not just talking about books — we’re building community, one page, one voice, and one conversation at a time.
🌟 Our Mission
Through engaging book reviews, thought-provoking interviews, live chats, podcasts, creative giveaways, and vibrant social media content, we aim to empower, entertain, and educate. Our goal is to foster a dynamic literary community that celebrates cultural richness, amplifies underrepresented narratives, and makes space for stories that truly matter.
👩🏽💼 Meet Our Founder: Patrice Grimball
Born and raised in South Carolina, Patrice’s lifelong love of books was matched only by her passion for creating space for people to be seen and heard.
As the founder of SCBookGal & Friends, Patrice has built a brand that does more than talk about books — it uplifts the authors behind the words, fosters reader engagement, and opens doors for literary exploration through curated events, panels, and digital media.
From hosting live shows and author panels to organizing community book drives and literacy events, Patrice is a force in the world of books and beyond. She believes in the power of literature to transform lives — and she created this platform to be a space where every voice matters.
