The AWP Annual Conference has become an essential gathering for writers and those in the literature field. Over 8,000 writers, teachers, publishers, students, editors, and literary arts professionals participated in the 2008 AWP Conference in New York. You can become part of our conference- even if you cannot attend the 2009 AWP Conference in Chicago- by placing an advertisement in the 2009 AWP Conference & Bookfair Program.

The AWP Conference & Bookfair Program is a resource we distribute to all conference attendees to assist them in enjoying the conference and the host city to its fullest capacity. The Conference & Bookfair Program is a great communication vehicle for Bookfair exhibitors, literary centers, journals and publications, conference reception hosts, and many others.

Display advertising for the 2009 Conference & Bookfair Program is available in the following sizes:

*Spot Color- The one spot color we'll be using for the 2009 Conference & Bookfair Program is: Pantone 1665C.

All copy requirements are the same as The Writer's Chronicle. Alternately, AWP can typeset selected ads for a nominal fee.
