If you are a Black writer looking for guidance and opportunity, you've come to the right place.

Claudia Love Mair, the new coordinator of the Collaborative, is here to answer any questions you might have about the craft and business of writing. She’s a novelist in multiple genres and also a creative nonfiction writer. Claudia holds a Masters in Fine Arts in writing from Spalding University, and her passion is to amplify Black voices at all levels.

All weekly classes and one-time classes at Carnegie are free to members of the Black Writers Collaborative.*

In addition to answering questions you might have, Claudia can guide you to the many writing, publishing, and world-language classes at Carnegie that are available at no charge to Black writers who live in Kentucky.

The Collaborative was created in 2020 following a searching inventory of the Carnegie Center's policies and programs. Carnegie staff and board members agreed that the organization had not done enough to support Black writers in the Commonwealth. So we've made numerous changes. You can read our full Black Lives Matter Statement on our website (CarnegieCenterLex.org).

In this catalog, you’ll find some classes and workshops designed especially for you.

For more information on the KBWC or to register for a class, contact: Claudia Love Mair, Coordinator [email protected] Monet Proctor, Registrar [email protected].

* Not included free of charge are: the Author Academy, the Poetry Gauntlet, the Books-in-Progress Conference, Writer Mentoring and Manuscript Review. There is separate financial support available for these programs. EVENTS & CONTESTS .
