6 Black-Owned Book Publishers
Amber Communications Group
When Tony Rose founded Amber Books in 1998 he already knew what success looked liked. For twenty years he’d been in the music busness, producing and promoting acts in his native Boston and Los Angeles. He’d cashed out of the business and relocated to Phoenix when his wife wrote a book that prompted his next venture. Identifying and marketing talent are transferrable skills and it didn’t take long for the business to take off. Today Amber Communications Group is the largest publisher of African-American self-help books and music biographies with several imprints, one of which is a collaboration with Tom Joyner.
