Established in 2000, the Black Writers Reunion & Conference is best known for its engaging workshop presenters, outstanding topics, inspirational ambience, and professional organization. While BWRC does not discriminate against participants of any race, BWRC is the only touring writers’ conference presented both by and for Black writers. BWRC exists to educate, support, and motivate aspiring, emerging, and published writers, promoting and encouraging artistic expression and growth through skill development in the art, craft, and business of creative writing in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama as well as business and career endeavors in professional writing.

The fifth Black Writers Reunion & Conference will be held in Las Vegas on June 18 & 19, 2009, and offers more than 25 workshops on the craft of writing fiction and nonfiction, the art of spoken word poetry, playwriting, screenwriting, blogging, public speaking, technical writing, grant writing, website tips and tricks, writing careers, and starting your own greeting card business. The conference also covers the business side of publishing and self-publishing with sessions on book deals, pitching to agents and editors, writing book proposals, media and reader relations, editing essentials, e-publishing, literary law, self-publishing, and marketing, among others.
