NO KINGS at MN Capitol, the FLAGSHIP LOCATION! After what ICE did to us, BE THERE!!!

March 28 will be the biggest protest in US history. Find your local No Kings event to make it clear that America rejects the regime’s brutality at home and abroad. app.sosha.ai/s/B74N4JZz AND I’LL BE THERE.

I love our editors @baltimorereview.bsky.social, and I’m excited to be repping them at next month’s #ConversationsandConnections conference for editor speed dating! A seriously great conference and a terrific value. April 18, American University. Let’s goooo! www.barrelhousemag.com/conference/

Excited to be invited back to be a speed dating editor at the @barrelhouse.bsky.social conference! Last time, I not only gave feedback but I bought a story I'd later publish and nominate for best of the net, and I acquired a manuscript! That book will be published this fall. Good things happen here!

A top U.S. general said Thursday that armed troops shouldn’t be “anywhere near” polling sites during elections while testifying at a Senate Armed Services Committee panel. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Starting to plan my agency’s summer events, our free talks with industry pros. Just floating it out there, if you work in publishing and would ever want a trip to Philly (on me!) to give a chat, do give me a nudge. We’re doing lots of good! Come hang. www.neighborhoodliterary.com/neighborhoods

This Wednesday! Our first book club meeting with The Writer's Center! Link to register in the comments. Free, on Zoom. Hear Alina Stefanescu read and ask her all your poetry questions! ❤

Howdy, friends! I’ve been posting for a while here as @mocounderground.bsky.social, but since I’ll be passing the torch next month, I’m going to start using @juliatagliere.bsky.social as my primary. If you want to stay in touch after my final April 9 event, PLEASE follow me there!

Daylight saving the day after the end of AWP is especially cruel

🥹👇🏽

“Liminal Space: Liminality and Liminal Spaces (Liminally Make Your Way to This Liminal Panel!)” 😂 Someone PLEASE submit this as a panel for #AWP27

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

This. I’m not sure how to describe what felt different and special about this year’s AWP. I don’t think I’ve had this pleasant an AWP experience since 2015 in LA. I felt like we had built/were building a beautiful life in community and we got to enjoy its spoils this year.

If they're still there bring them back to Philly

Still thinking about them

*chef’s kiss* #AWP2026

Right on time for #AWP2027!

AWP appreciates our benefactor, the Poetry Foundation, for supporting #AWP26. The Poetry Foundation amplifies written and spoken word through grants, publication, awards, fellowships, and events.

AWP is grateful for our benefactor, University of Maryland’s M.F.A. Program in Creative Writing. They combine creative and scholarly work, undergraduate teaching, and professionalization opportunities.

AWP thanks our benefactor Fairfield University MFA Program & Woodhall Press for their support. Fairfield’s low-residency MFA in Creative Writing is well situated to make your writing dream a reality, whether it’s articles, essays, stories, books, or poems.

PEOPLE OF AWP, DO NOT FORGET THAT IT IS DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME, AND WE SPRING FORWARD. DO NOT MISS YOUR FLIGHT/TRAIN/BUS/BRUNCH. #AWP #AWP26

If you’re at AWP and traveling home, remember daylight savings, everyone!

Loved overhearing you all again. After a couple years off and a move from X, it feels good to be back. Hear ya in Chicago! #OverheardAtAWP #AWP #AWP26

Your writing prompt, AWP edition: this unattended box of doughnuts in the men’s room just off the book fair.

Someone left Dunkin Donuts munchkins by the sink in the AWP bookfair bathroom, and I’m kinda ashamed at how much deliberation it took for me to not eat one

The fun doesn’t stop after #AWP26—you can have AWP all year when you become a member! Access resources for creative writers long after the conference. Sign up today! www.awpwriter.org/AWP/AWP/Memb...

Even though I didn't get to stay around as long as I wanted, it was so nourishing to go to literary readings & have powerful work wash over me at AWP. Oh my god I needed that so bad. Folks get your doses of literary readings in because they're so good for the soul.

😂😂😂😂😂

We've reached the "smiling vaguely but avoiding eye contact" stage of running our #AWP booth (845). But come say hi, anyway! @awpwriter.org #booksky @jbywrites.bsky.social

Friends! Our LIBRARY KIDS CLUB tote bags and postcard sets are on sale for $8 today! Swing by Table T960 to get yours! Hope you enjoy the last day of AWP! 😘

Free zine that includes a smoking-hot flash story? Yes, please! Stop by the MJP table (752) at AWP Baltimore. @aniking.bsky.social #AWP #Poetry #Fiction #Writers

Have we upped our candy game for the final day of #AWP? We have. Come see us in booth 845! @awpwriter.org #booksky

The malarkey table is entirely writer-run. These guys loaded the books in, organized two readings, are running the table, promoting each others book’s and the books of the writers who can’t be at awp, and are keeping a spreadsheet so I can track everyone’s royalties. Amazing crew. Go visit them!

Pretty good Saturday so far. Every book we sell at awp helps us lose less money, with even a small possibility of ending up slightly in the plus. If you’re at awp you should head over to our table (506) and find some good deals on indie lit.

OMFG, I just had my morning completely ROCKED by the #AWP panel I just attended. So damned powerful. Childfree & Childless Women Writers: Writing Against Gender Norms.

Finally catching my stride and relaxing into #AWP rhythm so of course it is the last day

Come by and say hello! We've sold out of totes, but we have mugs still available. Lots of free stuff too - snacks, stickers, bookmarks, and even a few remaining copies of our prize issue zine.
