I'm Marlive Harris, fondly known among literary circles (online and offline) as -thegrits.com, an acronym for "the girl reading in the south.com!"

I'm an online Book Marketer/Promoter and my fascination with technology (the Internet in particular) and love of liteature (emphasis on African American Literature) is the reason I launched The GRITS COM Literary Service, September 19, 2003, to meet the unique web publicity needs of authors, self-publishers, and most literary professionals.
