2015 Adelphi University Bookfair Stages
Host a Reading or Panel at AWP’s Bookfair
AWP is offering bookfair stages to host your reading, panel, or other literary performance event. Sponsored by the Adelphi University MFA in Creative Writing, the stages are set in the midst of the exhibit hall bustle, providing your organization with great visibility and foot traffic, and the opportunity to engage a diverse literary audience. These unique and dynamic venues are perfect for book or magazine launch readings, performance and slam events, celebrations, and tributes.
Stage reservations are taken on a first come, first served basis and are available exclusively to registered bookfair exhibitors through September 15. On September 16, reservations will be accepted from general registered conference attendees.
