Each year, AWP holds its Annual Conference in a different region of North America in order to celebrate the outstanding authors, teachers, writing programs, literary centers, and small press publishers of that region. The Annual Conference typically features 300 presentations: readings, lectures, panel discussions, and Forums plus hundreds of book signings, receptions, dances, and informal gatherings. The conference attracts more than 5,000 attendees and more than 400 publishers. It’s one of the biggest and liveliest literary gatherings in North America. Join the big literary conversation.

And we're happy to announce that Ahadada Books is going to be taking part in AWP 2009! More information to come!
