Black Books Weekend, a totally online literary event, was created to start a national conversation about what we want our literary legacy to be.

Topic of Discussion: Why do we need diverse reading material? How can we help young readers in other countries? How to promote a book for children in the digital age. We are discussing ways to engage young readers with technology and the printed book. Each speaker will share their journey as children's book writers and the projects they are working on.

Each year thousands of people - educators, concerned parents, community leaders, authors, poets and publishers - devote their time and resources to presenting the reader with great books! However, too many outstanding books do not get the attention and reader support that they deserve. We aim to change this with your help!
