I’m going to be on a panel at the 2017 Associated Writing Programs’ Annual Conference and Bookfair. The conference, which commemorates the organization’s 50th anniversary, will be held at the Washington Convention Center & Washington Marriott Marquis from February 8-11, 2017.
Pointing out where to get free books, AWP ’09, Chicago.
Organized by Luke Rolfes of Northwest Missouri State University, the panel I’m on is titled “Singular Opportunity: Teaching Creative Writing to One-Time Learners.” It will focus on panelists’ experiences with and best practices for working with undergraduate creative writing students who are not pursuing English or creative writing degrees.
From AWP’s website: “The AWP Conference & Bookfair is an essential annual destination for writers, teachers, students, editors, and publishers. Each year more than 12,000 attendees join our community for four days of insightful dialogue, networking, and unrivaled access to the organizations and opinion-makers that matter most in contemporary literature. The 2016 conference featured over 2,000 presenters and 550 readings, panels, and craft lectures. The bookfair hosted over 800 presses, journals, and literary organizations from around the world. AWP’s is now the largest literary conference in North America.”
Looking forward to seeing lots of old friends.
