THE SHOW

Why we host the AAMBC Awards &
Black Writers Weekend

What is AAMBC Inc?

AAMBC is an Atlanta based non-profit organization and online community who’s primary goal is to expose literature written by black creatives. Since it’s inception in 2008, AAMBC has celebrated more than 2,500 writers through their annual events, local meetups, and virtual chats. Between our online communities on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram we have over 15,000 active members and hundreds of authors.

Since the creation of the AAMBC Awards in 2008 and Black Writers Weekend in 2016 we have worked with a number of black creatives and networks such as;

Nikki Giovanni

We recognized the power in our words and our stories from our inception in 2008. In the beginning, our mission was exposing writers that reflect you and me. That mission is still the same to this very day. In the past several years, we have seen a rise in our stories placed on the bookshelves, adapted for television and movies, and on the stage. More than ever before our stories are being seen but there aren’t enough places where authors are celebrated like the rock stars that they are. Every industry from movies to music has a place in Hollywood but books, and especially black books, help us change that narrative.

Your support will allow us to continue our efforts to celebrate black creatives and offer free programs such as:

  • Pay for the venue and event production costs
  • Reward production and shipping
  • Hire instructors for the conference
  • Invite special literary guests
  • Provide honorariums for speakers
  • Ensure the event is low-cost and accessible to the community
