The International Writers’ Workshop is a series of educational sessions for Black writers to connect, share, inform, read, and network with one another. It has been crafted to offer a cultural framework for sharing purposeful writing, specifically with the Black writer in mind. Our online and in person sessions are shaped to encourage and support writers on their personal creative journeys. During our interactive discussions, experts will share culturally-specific experiences and strategies for writing and marketing, in addition to providing resources for starting, sustaining, and [self-]publishing writing projects in a variety of genres. The workshops will include interactive elements such as panel discussions, breakout rooms (where applicable), author readings/demonstrations, webinar-style presentations and more.
The purpose of this event is to provide writers and creatives with tips and insights about marketing, self publishing, branding, and wellness tips. Our goal is to inspire and motivate writers as well as provide practical tools and resources for current and aspiring authors from the Black community, who are typically underrepresented and insufficiently supported in the literary sector. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions, meet guest speakers, and network.
We are excited for you all to join us in person and online as we present our 2023 Black Writers & Wellness Check-In.

We can’t wait to meet you on Saturday July 29, 2023 in Toronto.
