Cleveland Book Week

Cleveland Book Week is a yearly series of literary events in Northeast Ohio, presented by the Cleveland Foundation with community partners such as Literary Cleveland, Cleveland Public Library and the Great Lakes African American Writers Conference. Since 2016 it has been anchored by the newest class of Anisfield-Wolf Book Award winners, the only national juried prize for literature that confronts racism and celebrates human diversity.

The week brings the winning poets, novelists and historians to venues across the city, from Karamu House and Lake View Cemetery to the City Club of Cleveland, and has added films and podcasts along the way.
