Black Bookstore Feature Form

Thank you for your interest in being featured by Black Bookstore Day!

This form helps us gather information about Black bookstores for features across social media, website content, educational campaigns, community spotlights, historical archives, and other promotional materials connected to Black Bookstore Day and related initiatives throughout the year.

While we cannot guarantee specific feature dates or timelines, as we prepare to celebrate Black Bookstore Day on August 29, 2026 (and ongoing, every last Saturday of August), information submitted through this form may be featured across Black Bookstore Day platforms and initiatives.

To keep this process as accessible and low-lift as possible, only a small number of fields are required. Please feel free to complete as much or as little of the form as you are willing and able (and enter n/a for any required fields that are inapplicable).

We sincerely appreciate you sharing your work with us and helping celebrate and preserve the legacy of Black bookstores. For questions or concerns, email info@blackbookstoreday.com. And if you haven't already, be sure to follow @blackbookstore.day on Instagram.
