AWP Conference

This week I'll be at the Association of Writers and Writing Program's annual conference (AWP) in Chicago. The conference is huge one--they actually had to cancel late registration this year because 10,000 people have already signed up. (Which is pretty amazing, given that the first AWP I went to in Kansas City in 2000 had only a few thousand people at it, as far as I know.)

I won't be on any programming at AWP, because it's mainly geared toward literary fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction. But in case there are any YA or genre fans in the mix as well, I wanted to mention that I'll be running Nimrod Journal's book table at the bookfair each morning until about 11:30. The table is K20, and while I'll mostly be handing out information about the journal, I would love to chat with any YA fantasy and sf lovers who want to drop by. So if you'll be there, don't be shy--come see me! Here's the info:

I may be around other times, but you can be sure to catch me between 8:30 and 11:30 a.m.
