What some of our past participants have to say:
I am here... Because You Were There!!! Thank you guys so much for giving me a starting point. Without your conference in 2000, my dreams would not be coming true. God Bless You!

I was so charged up from attending the conference. I am also so very pleased to see the kind of organization and nurturing available to African-American writers that has been available to white writers for years.

I can't stop talking about the professionalism of the BWRC staff and presenters. Each presenter promised and delivered a dynamite session on the do's and don'ts of publishing. A wealth of information was exchanged, retained, and sustained by all. I walked away with renewed energy and a real commitment to completing my literary goals.
- Janette Owens
The BWRC can only be described as a total EXPERIENCE. I have been to a number of conferences, both black and white, and none came close to what I experienced in Dallas. I walked away feeling renewed, revived and rededicated to the craft of writing.
