Write
To preserve history and voice. Every word written by a Black author is an act of defiance against erasure, a brick laid in the foundation of our legacy.
Connect
To encourage unity and collaboration. When Black writers come together, the resonance of their collective voice reshapes the literary landscape.
Empower
To uplift individual narratives. We believe every writer of color has a unique story with the power to enlighten, inspire, and transform perspectives.
WHAT IS BLACK REWRITE?
Amplifying Black Literary Voices
Black REwrite recognizes the importance of diverse storytelling and the rich experiences that Black and Brown authors bring to literature. We provide a space for these writers to share their work, serving as both an educational resource and a catalyst for change in the global literary landscape.
Through featuring authors in spotlight series, hosting writing workshops, and providing promotional opportunities, Black REwrite aims to break down barriers that have historically silenced these voices.

We are the owners
of our pen, and our

RECLAIM THE RECORD
Black REwrite’s mission is to counteract the systematic erasure of our profound history and the banning of our books. We are dedicated to amplifying Black literary voices by offering tailored courses for individuals and institutions, fostering growth and understanding.
