Nationwide–Tracy Grant is a superstar in his own right. The Brooklyn, New York native, whose first book “Hellified” garnered plenty of praise and discussion, is a walking success story. Grant, who attended
Georgetown University, became well-known by his peers for his editorials in the school newspaper, The Hoya.

After graduating, and starting a career with a music magazine, Tracy began freelance writing for many well-known publications such as Generation Next, YSB, and Today’s Black Woman. Upon receiving his master’s degree from Georgetown, Tracy continued writing for a variety of publications including: Black Men, BET Weekend, Rap Sheet, Mad Rhythms, XXL, Players, and Mosaic literary magazine. But he didn’t stop there.

Tracy has also served as a publicist for some big names in music including Dionne Warwick, Luther “Luke” Campbell, and Rita Marley.

With plenty of accolades to accompany his obviously talented mind, Tracy Grant has crossed bounds that some only dream of. In his biggest effort yet, Tracy recently co-wrote an episode of ABC Family’s hit African-American drama, “Lincoln Heights.” The episode, which aired October 16, 2007, was co-written with the show’s Co-Executive Producer, Larry Moskowitz.

With all the knowledge and success attached to Tracy Grant’s name, many undoubtedly say, “I wish I could learn from him.” Now you can. Tracy will be presenting the Screenwriting 101 workshop at the 2008 Black Writers Reunion & Conference at the Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel, June 20-21, 2008 in Tampa, Florida.
