Q: What is BWRC?
A: BWRC stands for Black Writers Reunion & Conference, a national touring conference founded in 2000.

Q: Where has BWRC been held?
A: 2000: Atlanta, Georgia; 2001 & 2006: Dallas, Texas; 2008: Tampa, Florida; and 2009: Las Vegas, Nevada. The sixth BWRC will return to Atlanta, the site of our first conference ten years ago.

Q: How are locations selected for future conferences?
A: A touring conference, BWRC has traditionally been held across the southern U.S. Consideration for the location of each event is typically given to cities with significant African-American populations where the conference has not previously been held (other than Dallas and Atlanta). Bids are solicited from venues in prospective locations and selected based on accommodations, rates, and overall value for attendees.

Q: I’m interested in exhibitor opportunities with BWRC.
A: Exhibitor space is available at the host hotel on Thursday and Friday, June 24-25 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and during the Author Expo on Saturday from 1-3 p.m. See Exhibiting for more information.

Q: I’m registering for the full conference. Does my registration include admission to the “So You Wanna Write” workshop?
A: No. Full conference registrants and presenters are not eligible to attend “So You Wanna Write.”

Q: I’m registering for one day of workshops. May I apply for admission to the “So You Wanna Write” workshop?
A: Yes, you may apply for consideration.

Q: I’d like to offer my audiovisual/photography/videography services for the next BWRC.
A: We are not in need of these services as we will not be recording sessions this year, and we have numerous photographers and videographers within our staff and membership.
