Any Conference & Bookfair attendees with an interest in how AWP and its collaborating associations/programs might jointly improve our support to creative writers and writing programs based outside of the United States are invited for an initial exchange of ideas, and a get-acquainted session, on Saturday, March 30 at 8:00 a.m. on the Skyview Terrace of the Oregon Convention Center. This event will be co-hosted by Christopher Merrill of the Iowa International Writing Program, Jill Goldberg of the Canadian Creative Writers and Writing Programs association, and Chloe Schwenke of AWP.
