SPEAKERS

Join us at Black Writers Weekend, where we showcase a diverse and talented lineup of local and national authors, artists, and performers. Across multiple venues, guests can enjoy author readings, improv writing, interactive storytelling, games, and hands-on workshops.

This celebration of Atlanta’s vibrant literary scene offers something for everyone. Attendees receive a festival passport to explore different locations featuring dynamic authors and creators. Plus, our author vendor market provides a space for writers to connect with festival-goers and curious patrons—all free and open to the public.

We invite you to be part of this experience. By submitting to speak at Black Writers Weekend, you’ll join a powerful network of creatives, gain exposure to new audiences, and inspire readers, writers, and culture-shapers from around the country. Share your voice, your story, and your expertise.
