AWP Essentials

Dear Ploughshares,

What if I want all my AWP Boston advice and recommendations gathered in one place?  You’ve published five posts so far, and that’s a little overwhelming.  What’s a conference attendee to do?

Sincerely, Concerned Attendee

Well, AWP attendee, look no further.  Here, for your reading convenience, is a roundup of our AWP focused posts and more from around the web.  Stop by the Ploughshares booth (213) in the Book Fair to say hi!
