INTERNATIONAL WRITERS' WORKSHOP

    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. The online sessions are shaped to encourage and support writers on their personal creative journeys. During the interactive discussion, 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, author readings/demonstrations, and webinar-style presentations.

    CONNECT WITH OUR IWW AUTHORS & THEIR BOOKS

    Our goal is to establish and develop creative ways to unite Black writers across Toronto (and internationally), to share our processes, and connect about the events and concepts we are actively documenting. We aim to offer a cultural framework for sharing purposeful writing; we would like to connect various Black writers and writing communities through deliberate working relationships; and we hope to provide an inviting and comfortable platform to cultivate new artistic networks. We'd also like to inform and prepare Black writers for their projects through providing process feedback, publishing resources, marketing strategies, and social media tips. We hope to continue to strengthen the writing, the voices, and the unification within the Black writing community, and to also establish Toronto as a hub and key international location for Black writers to feel welcome, supported, and enhanced as artists.
