National Black Writers Conference: Talkshops
Mar 23 at 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Talkshops
11:00 am to 12:30 pm
The talkshops run concurrently.
At the Center for Black Literature, a talkshop is similar to a writing workshop in that they are designed to enhance one’s literary projects by providing strategies and working tools. Unlike a writing workshop, however, attendees are not required to bring or share writing samples. The talkshop leaders share their expertise and professional experience with attendees, helping to create a dynamic, highly engaged space that includes question-and-answer segments.
We proudly present these leading experts, specialists, and distinguished writers to the Conference. Come out to get the inside take and best practices.
