Inclusive Spaces: Black Women Creative Writing Community

Updated: Nov 18

Creativity knows no bounds, yet the literary world has only sometimes been an inclusive space for everyone. Historically, certain voices have been marginalized and underrepresented in creative writing. Fortunately, initiatives like the one we are exploring today seek to change that narrative.

Imagine a community where Black women come together to share their stories, thoughts, and dreams through the art of writing. A community that celebrates their unique perspectives and provides a platform for their voices to be amplified. This is the essence of No More Margins, a community where Black women creative writers can flourish.


This initiative started as a small writing group. My vision is to grow No More Margins into a vibrant community that offers a range of opportunities for Black women to explore and expand their craft. From writing workshops and feedback sessions to publication opportunities and virtual networking events, No More Margins is dedicated to empowering Black women through the power of creative writing. We are breaking down barriers and challenging the status quo in the literary world by creating a safe and supportive space for Black women to express themselves authentically.


At No More Margins, we recognize the importance of representation and diversity in storytelling and actively work to ensure that Black women's voices are heard and valued. In a society where Black women have often been relegated to the margins, we are saying "no more." No More Margins is carving out a space where Black women can take center stage, where their stories are welcome and celebrated. It is a place where creativity knows no bounds and where the possibilities are endless.


So, to all the Black women out there with a story to tell, a poem to share, or a dream to pursue through writing, know there is a community waiting to welcome you with open arms. A community that believes in the power of your words and the importance of your voice. A community that redefines what it means to be a writer and challenges the boundaries of traditional literary spaces. Together, let's embrace the power of storytelling and create a more inclusive and diverse literary landscape. Let's amplify the voices silenced for too long and celebrate the beauty of Black women's creativity. The time for change is now, and it starts with initiatives like this one that are paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable future in the world of creative writing.
