Black Writers Collective

Why join?

We Help End Isolation

Our legacy of bringing together Black writers online for networking and fellowship is why we originally came together in 1998. Today we operate in a much different environment—one filled with more distractions and obstacles than ever, all of which seem to conspire to keep us from writing as much as we want. 

Black Writers Collective exists to offer a safe space for writers seeking feedback on their work and the accountability that being part of writers groups can offer. Here you can connect with like-minded creatives who understand the writing process and help keep you inspired.

We Guarantee a Safe Space

We don’t tolerate mean, rude, disrespectful behavior; bullies aren’t welcome here. We have strict rules against abuse and will eject any member who violates them. It is of utmost importance to us that ALL members feel comfortable sharing with us in our community.

We Write & Hit Targets Together

Being with other writers as we set writing goals and work toward achieving them is among the most powerful motivation there is for you to get focused, find the time, and make the work happen.

We Help Hold Each Other Accountable

Within our support groups, we plan together, we write together, we finish together. Share goals and intentions for your writing as well as your progress and accomplishments. We’ll help you to hold yourself accountable, challenge you, and motivate you through “The End” of writing project after project, and we’ll cheer you on and celebrate your successes with you.

Is Black Writers Collective for you?

We Connect You With Talented Editors & Coaches

There’s nothing quite like having a professional editor with an innate understanding of your voice, who speaks the same language you speak, in all of its varied nuances. We’ve built a network of experienced editors and book coaches—skilled in all types of book development coaching, editing, book analysis, proofreading, and more—to make it easier for you to find the right editor or book coach with the experience and expertise you need.
