Dear Black Writers Film Takes Over the Tara Theater

Dear Black Writers is coming to the big screen in Atlanta. Come out to the Tara Theatre for a limited run of the documentary from November 15–21, 2026.

Dear Black Writers is a love letter to the authors, readers, and creatives who built Black literature from the ground up. Many of them wrote without permission, published without gatekeepers, and found their audiences on their own terms. The film tells the story of a movement and the community that kept it alive.

Opening Night: Sunday, November 15
Opening night is a celebration, so come early and stay a while.
• Author book signings and meet-and-greet (5–7 PM): Meet four featured authors in the lobby, pick up signed copies, and support Black writers directly.
• Step and repeat: Take photos by the couch area and share them with your people.
• Screening: Watch Dear Black Writers with the community that inspired it.

Can't make it Sunday?
The film plays all week through November 21. Bring your book club, your writing group, or a friend who needs to see it. We'll announce showtimes for the rest of the week soon.
