For 20 years, Torch Literary Arts has supported and amplified Black women writers across the diaspora. We've featured over 300 writers and counting through our award-winning publication, Torch Magazine. Torch has also impacted the lives of thousands of writers, readers, and community members around the world through impactful events such as readings, conversation series, creative and professional development workshops, our annual Torch Retreat, and special events. To mark this monumental occasion, we are hosting a weekend of celebrations, including a festive gala, the launch of the Torch Awards, live readings, conversations, writing sessions, and more. Let's gather in the joy of literature and togetherness! Space is limited. Purchase your tickets now so you don't miss this historic event!
