Where Black writers can find opportunities that pay.
I want to share a resource Black writers should know about, even in its early stages.
Black writers shape worlds through novels that span generations, essays that sharpen understanding, poetry that sings the unsaid, scripts that bring new voices to the screen, and stories in forms yet to be named. Even with this range, opportunities are often overlooked, pay goes unmentioned, and work that centers our experiences is undervalued. Calls can assume a narrow idea of what our stories should be which leaves brilliance unseen and voices that deserve compensation unheard.
The Black Writers Market changes that. It gathers paid opportunities from freelance and role-specific work to less traditional formats that are each selected to recognize and reward the craft and perspective Black writers bring. Grants, contests, and other resources are included as well to support writers along their journey.
Access starts at $5/month, making real work and real pay accessible. Joining now means seeing opportunities as they emerge and accessing a concentrated space that values Black voices.
If you’re a Black writer looking for aligned, paid opportunities and resources, it’s worth exploring.
