#GLOBAL I AM
Dear HBF2025 Authors and Attendees: We are disappointed to announce that delays in planned repairs on the Harlem Office Building Plaza (our event venue) have made the effective delivery of the 2025 book festival implausible.
We are officially moving the book fair into our 2026 season. But do not fret! We have lots in store between now and then! If you haven't done so, please join our mailing list for year-round event invitations, author talks, and gatherings leading up to HBF 2026. We will keep you updated on all we plan. Thank you for your continued support of Black Writing and the Harlem Book Fair.

Authors, got books/e-books?
