Who We Are
Books Have the Power to Change Lives.
Black Romance Book Fest, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing literacy, promoting wellness, strengthening communities, and creating economic opportunity through the transformative power of books. Founded in 2024, our organization was created to celebrate Black stories while expanding access to books and creating meaningful opportunities for readers, authors, publishers, educators, creators, businesses, and communities to connect. We believe books do more than entertain. They educate, inspire, heal, create empathy, strengthen relationships, and open doors to new possibilities.Today, our work extends beyond a single weekend. Through our flagship program, the Black Romance Book Fest, and year-round initiatives, we invest in literacy, education, wellness, scholarships, and community partnerships that create lasting impact throughout Metro Atlanta and beyond.

To advance literacy, promote wellness, strengthen communities, and create opportunities through the transformative power of books by expanding access to diverse stories, supporting readers and storytellers, and fostering meaningful connections through literature.
