No Limits - Indiana author Janet Cheatham Bell

Janet Cheatham Bell is a writer, editor and independent scholar, who has pursued her dream of creating and publishing books since 1986. Her first title Famous Black Quotations and some not so famous was self-published that year, and later licensed to Warner Books. Since then shes published nine additional quotation books. The quotations she identified and compiled have become part of the cultural lexicon and been used in classrooms, books, movies and television series.  A former education consultant for the Indiana Department of Education, Janet has also taught African American literature at a number of colleges. In 1995 and 1996 New City, Chicagos newspaper of literature and the arts, named her to The Lit 50: Chicagos Book World, Who Really Counts. Janets coming-of-age memoir, The Time and Place That Gave Me Life, published by Indiana University Press in 2007, was called one of the best forms of social history.
