WHAT DO WE DO IN OUR MEETINGS?

“Black Writers of Tomorrow is so much more than a group of writers getting together, it’s an uplifting community.
We’re almost closing on our second year together and it has been an incredible experience. With the bi-monthly sessions, you’ll get to share your pieces and get feedback from your peers which helps you know what you did well and what you should improve. You’ll also discover/explore new genres and do creative exercises with your group. It’s all about kindness and indulgence; others are not here to judge! It will allow you to make great friends with whom you’ll get the chance to grow with. We’ve all witnessed each other become better writers.
Additionally, BWOT offers workshops that anyone can attend to focus on a particular aspect of your writing. By joining, you’ll get the opportunity to grow and become a more confident writer as well as involve yourself in various projects which are shared in the group chat by your fellow writers.
If you’re an aspiring young black writer, this is your chance to share your story and help build a community meant to uplift our voices: Do not hesitate to join!”

“Before discovering Black Writers of Tomorrow, I had already developed an interest in creative writing. However, I struggled to find others my age who also shared the same passion and appreciation for the art form. Through connecting with the community of Black Writers of Tomorrow, my personal love for writing and storytelling skill set has blossomed. It is a privilege to converse with other talented individuals and receive their feedback in such a comforting environment. If you ever feel isolated amongst the endless ideas that crowd your mind, I can guarantee the setting of Black Writers of Tomorrow creatives will always be there to hear them.”
Join our vibrant community of talented black writers!
