If you are going going to the 2024 AWP (Association of Writers & Writing Programs) Conference & Bookfair in Kansas City, Missouri this February 7–10, don’t forget to get a copy of my book, The Infinite Library and Other Stories, as well as all these other great books by outstanding Asian authors!
The AWP Conference & Bookfair is the annual destination for writers, teachers, students, editors, and publishers of contemporary creative writing. It includes thousands of attendees, hundreds of events and bookfair exhibitors, and four days of essential literary conversation and celebration. The AWP Conference & Bookfair has always been a place of connection, reunion, and joy, and we are excited to see the writing community come together again in Kansas City, Missouri in 2024.
