Amplify Bookstore
Celebrating BIPOC Authors and Diverse Stories
Welcome to Amplify Bookstore, your dedicated online destination for discovering BIPOC authors and books that reflect the rich diversity of People of Colour (PoC). Founded by Women of Colour, Marina and Xuan, Amplify was born from a passion to address the challenge of finding literature that represents and resonates with underrepresented communities. Our mission is to make it easier for you to find diverse books featuring characters and stories that mirror your identity and experiences.
Why Representation Matters
At Amplify, we understand the transformative power of representation in literature. For many PoC, the lack of relatable characters in books can contribute to feelings of otherness and internalized stigma. By curating a thoughtfully selected range of BIPOC books, we aim to provide the language and stories that empower readers to embrace their identities and see themselves as distinct from the white norm. Whether you're seeking books by Black authors, Indigenous writers, or other authors of colour, our bookstore is a space where you can find yourself reflected on the page.
Diversify Your Bookshelf
We believe that reading widely and diversely is essential for everyone. Amplify Bookstore encourages you to diversify your bookshelf with stories that challenge perspectives and broaden horizons. By showcasing BIPOC literature, we aim to prove that these books not only sell but hold immense cultural and emotional value—an impact the publishing industry is still catching up to. From novels and memoirs to poetry and young adult fiction, our collection celebrates the voices of authors of colour and their contributions to literature.
Embracing Intersectionality
Amplify Bookstore goes beyond race to embrace intersectional diversity. We recognize that identities are multifaceted, encompassing gender, sexuality, disability, and more. Our far-reaching selection includes intersectional books that reflect the complexities of lived experiences, ensuring that readers from all walks of life can find stories that resonate. Whether you're looking for queer BIPOC authors or narratives that explore layered identities, Amplify is here to help you discover meaningful reads.
