I've been in Denver for the last 5 days for the Association of
Writers & Writing Programs Conference, where I participated on two
panels, and also manned the Writer's Digest Bookfair table with WD magazine
editor Jessica Strawser.
I'm calling it a day of rest—Best
Tweets will return next week. To anyone who directly sent me Tweets
for inclusion: look for them on the next installment.
A few AWP-related
links of interest:
- Documenting AWP: A group of writers tracking the 2010 conference
- Documenting AWP: The specific recap of the platform panel I participated on
- Agent Robin Mizell's follow-up on our platform panel, with excellent resources
- Panel moderator Christina Katz's summary of platform & resources
You can also search #AWP10 for the Twitter stream—but it's definitely personality- and booze-driven. Read for the flavor of the event rather than the substance.
To any first-time AWP visitors to my blog, I recommend starting here: The Secrets to Publishing Success (Jane's 2009 Tough Love Guide).
