Background

Wrong Speak Publishing publishes news articles and commentary on its website, as well as print books. The company contends that it is an outlet for people to be uninhibited in how they express themselves. ¹

Founder Adam B. Coleman objected to what he perceived to be a prominent media narrative in 2020 that Black men feared constant danger from police. He said he talked to others who felt as he did, which encouraged him to write about the topic. He also said he found that pundits regardless of ideology did not represent the views of normal people, and this led him to establish Wrong Speak Publishing. ³

The company says the website’s opinion section is a zone for writers to freely express opinions, in the belief that many Americans feel they are suppressed in the mainstream media. ¹ It says its opinion section features articles written by people from all walks of life. ¹

It also says the website is an avenue to cover news stories that other media outlets ignore. ¹

The outlet says its goal is that Americans can “express themselves as intellectually honest as possible.” The company does not take a stance on anything expressed on the website, and says it tries to be fair to opinions even if company leadership does not agree with the expressed views. It says it frequently publishes articles that conflict with each other. ¹

Books

Wrong Speak Publishing books are available in paperback and eBooks. ¹

Its published books include Black Victim to Black Victor by Adam B. Coleman, the company founder, and The Luminescence Manual by Lisabeth Lange, the books editor for the outlet. ⁴
