It produces the annual Harlem Book Fair, which began in 1998.[1][2] In 2005, QBR entered into a partnership with Black Issues Book Review, and at the same time, discontinued print publication of its quarterly.[3] QBR continues to be published online monthly, with weekly updates.
QBR sponsors the Celebration of Black Writers in Philadelphia and the African-American Read In in Dallas.[4] They published Sacred Fire: The QBR 100 Essential Black Books in 1999.[5]
