| Remember to Nominate your Students' Works for AWP's Intro Journals Project
Program directors, submit your nominations for the Intro Journals Project, a literary competition for the discovery and publication of the best new works by students currently enrolled in AWP member programs. The deadline is Monday, December 2. Selected work will appear in Artful Dodge, Colorado Review, Hayden’s Ferry Review, Iron Horse Literary Review, Mid-American Review, Puerto del Sol, Quarterly West, and Tampa Review. |
| How to Keep Going as a Writer? Consult the Writer’s Notebook
The featured work in the Writer's Notebook is vigorous, honest, and serious about making it as a writer. Read about the late great fiction writer Elmore Leonard and Ru Freeman's wisdom about writing retreats. Watch for more posts each month and throughout the year. |
| VOTE NOW & Help AWP Become a Stronger Association
Please vote now and help AWP become a stronger, more modern, and more resourceful association. AWP must hold another election on governance reform since we were unable to achieve a quorum this past academic year. Last winter, AWP Members supported governance reform by a big margin. 1,245 members voted for governance reform and 43 against. Unfortunately, too few members voted, and we failed to achieve a quorum. Our bylaws and articles of incorporation have many components that date back to 1967, and we have to adopt a new structure to improve our service to a growing and more diverse membership. |
