35,000 of you. Y’all, I’m sitting with that number for a minute. 🙏🏾✨

When we started in 2010, it was about one thing: making sure Black writers had a room where they were seen, celebrated, and taken seriously. Not a seat at somebody else’s table, but *our own* table. Every city, every panel, every author who drove hours with a box of books in the trunk, every reader who showed up with a tote bag and an open heart… you built this.

This isn’t just a follower count. It’s a movement of Creatives who refuse to be overlooked. 35K people who believe our stories matter, our voices sell, and our community is worth showing up for.

So thank you. Thank you for the shares, the comments, the ticket purchases, the DMs that say “BWW changed my writing life.” We see you, and we’re just getting started. 💛

You have 15 seconds. No rambling. No “well, it’s kind of about…” 😂 Just 15 seconds to make us want to read your story.

BWW authors took on the challenge… but did they actually nail it? 👀

📚Watch to the end and tell us: who had the best pitch?

From an online book club in 2008 to a national touring festival premiering films in 2026 — this is the road to Dear Black Writers.

📖✨ We started as readers and writers finding each other online, just wanting a space to talk about Black books. Nearly two decades later, we’ve built a home in Atlanta, opened doors for creatives across the country, and we’re not done yet. Swipe through our journey — and tell us where we should go next. 👇
