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. 👇

✨ BIG IMAGINATIONS. BIG STORIES. BIG DREAMS. ✨

Every week, our students are creating, exploring, and pushing the boundaries of what storytelling can be. From narrative and poetry to memoir, fantasy, dystopia, adventures, creative expression, and even virtual worlds—they’re learning that there are NO limits to where a story can go. 🚀📚

The imagination is alive and WELL! 🧠💫

We’re so proud to present the Right Now Creative Writing Workshop Series and watch these young creatives find their voices, build their worlds, and tell stories only THEY could tell.

And trust us…they’re just getting started. 👀🔥
