In 1990-92, Adams impressed with the vast pool of Black talent in the media,
began to compile a listing for her publication, Black Authors and Published
Writers Directory. Over 1,000 Black authors, publishers, producers,
distributors, song, film, and playwrights, agents, librarians, talk show
hosts, consultants, advertising agents and other marketing resources were
listed in the book. In 2003, Adams created and founded BAPWDcom the
official website for Black Authors & Published Writers Directory. Like the
new book, the website is a "must" for anyone interested in networking with major
Black media professionals and services.
