Griot and Grey Owl Black Southern Writers Conference

A 3-day writing conference for Black Southern writers packed with world-class workshops, panels, and historical tours that cover culture, career, and community.

Writers will gather to connect with renowned Southern workshop facilitators stationed at historical locations, panels with renowned southern authors, field trips tethered to the thriving Black Wall Street scene, and more! The goal is that after a weekend of writing in Durham, attendees will leave the conference energized,
empowered, and inspired to take the seeds learned at Griot & Grey Owl back to their own communities.
