Writing can be a solitary endeavor, but it doesn’t have to be with Black Writers Collective. We offer writers support and feedback, give you access to publishing and job opportunities seeking diverse candidates, and connect you with a network of fellow creatives for inspiration, motivation, and empowerment.
Black Writers Collective brings together a selection of programs that range from accountability and feedback to help you get your books written to referrals to vetted literary professionals to help you avoid wasting time and money in publishing your works.
We offer resources that include digital downloads on the craft and business of writing, free beta reader queries, calls for submissions, and book promotional opportunities to help make it easier for you to reach your goals.
We distribute job leads and writing gigs at no charge from organizations and individuals seeking applicants of color to our members-only email list as well as our social networks.
The heart of our online community is our private critique and interest groups focused on novels, short fiction, nonfiction, poetry, beta readers, and critique partners. We also have member meetings for poetry and prose readings, support, and general meet and greets.
While the organization has transitioned significantly since its inception, the core principles, values and mission have remained the same. We strive to empower writers throughout our community to help further their chances of success, by whatever their measures of success may be, lending support, nurturing, encouragement, guidance, feedback, and facilitating the sharing of opportunities with and within our member base.
We’re looking for outgoing network hosts experienced with building communities and member engagement.
