Going to Kansas City!

If you are attending the AWP Conference in Kansas City 2/7-2/9, 2024, please stop by the Unsolicited Press table or catch meet at an event to say hi.

I love connecting with friends and meeting fellow literary nerds!

Some of the AWP events are virtual this year, so you can attend from home and pay a discounted fee. The conference has much to offer bookish types.
