Chocolate City Literature Festival (CCLF)
The Chocolate City Lit Festival (CCLF) is a vibrant celebration of Black stories, creativity, and community. Taking place in Washington, D.C., CCLF brings together award-winning and emerging Black authors, book lovers, and literary influencers for a weekend of conversation, connection, and culture.
We are deeply passionate about amplifying Black authors especially independent authors-by providing a platform where their stories can be seen, heard, and celebrated. From thought-provoking panel discussions and intimate author signings to a buzzing exhibitor marketplace and family-friendly programming, CCLF is where literature and community meet.
Our mission is to uplift Black voices in publishing and create space for readers to discover, connect, and be inspired.
