Support Black Women Writers

Black women writers live at the intersection of race, gender, and class. While we can be seen receiving some of the highest literary honors, representation and visibility remain scant across the literary landscape. Together, we can combat this reality and help Torch Literary Arts provide advancement opportunities for Black women writers. 

Giving Tuesday is a global movement to support nonprofit organizations making a difference in our communities. Complete the form below to make your donation and help Torch reach our $5,000 Giving Tuesday goal toward our 2024 overall $35,000 goal. 

Your support helps publish and pay Black women writers, curate our Wildfire Reading Series, and provide workshops, retreats, and other special events. 

Torch Literary Arts is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
Thank you for your tax-deductible donation. 


You can also donate by check payable to Torch Literary Arts.
