As the Association of Writers and Writing Programs' annual conference approaches (only three days away!), we're madly packing our bags and doublechecking schedules. We're excited for some sunny weather (with no threat of snowstorms), but more importantly, we're especially excited to see our fellow literary enthusiasts in San Antonio.
If you're in town for the conference, come find us and say hi; we'll be at T1937, smack in the middle of the book fair, ready to talk Lit Fest, Story Fest, Book Project, Poetry Collective, our Grand Lake and Writing in Color retreats, and our ever-growing menu of online and in-person workshops.
There will be a lot of Lighthousers participating in the conference, see a sampling below of who's presenting where:
