About A Soft Place to Land

At A Soft Place to Land, we believe in the transformative power of storytelling. Our mission is to create a warm, welcoming space where readers can connect with the rich tapestry of Black literature, with a particular focus on the voices of Black women and gender-diverse authors.

Founded by a passionate lover of books and community, A Soft Place to Land was born from the dream of building a space where Black authors are celebrated and cherished. Here, every story matters, and every reader is valued.

Our Vision

We dream of a world where Black literature takes center stage, where readers and writers find connection, and where the stories we tell reflect the depth and diversity of the Black experience. Through book fairs, retreats, virtual clubs, and more, A Soft Place to Land is committed to creating spaces where stories come alive and communities thrive.
