Offsite Event: The 12th Annual Festival of Language 2020 We suggest these as a starting point, along with remembering to drink a lot of water, tossing some granola bars in your tote of choice, getting some sleep, and stopping by The Rumpus bookfair table (T1834) for all your Rumpus merchandise needs, including our beloved limited-edition Dear Sugar WLAMF mug AND our limited-run matriarchy mug designed by artist Rachael Schafer! This is also the worst part us writers are known to be alternately social and reclusive, so make sure to find yourself some quiet time.īelow, we offer a selection of panels, readings, and events that we are especially excited for. The best part of AWP is being surrounded by every writer you’ve ever followed on social media. This is wonderful, and terribly overwhelming.

The conference features presentations, readings, panel discussions, craft lectures, a bookfair with over eight hundred presses, journals, and literary organizations from around the globe, and numerous offsite events and readings in the nearby area. Next week, over 12,000 attendees-writers, editors, publishers, teachers, students, and book lovers-will descend upon San Antonio, TX for four days of literary madness.
