Well, it is a no for me and #awp26. I submitted three panels, and they were all turned down. Same as the last time I tried in 2017, but 2016 was a good year, and...one other year I presented. LOL Congrats to everyone who will have a chance to go!

Morning! As I continue to refine my potential #awp26 proposal ideas, I have really been leaning into the idea of bringing together my instructional design work with my creative writing work. Does anyone else feel like they fit (somewhat) into both categories? Let me know!

Working on possible #awp26 panel proposals for Baltimore. In 2017, I submitted a panel (that was not accepted) about writers working inside and outside of academia. Are you interested? I'm looking for a diverse group. Also still open to being on someone else's panel/reading etc. Send me a DM!
