AWP Conference

The annual Association of Writers and Writing Programs Conference (AWP) is in Seattle in 2023, and StoryStudio will be there!

Find us at booth T520 in the Bookfair Hall. We have lots of faculty & members on panels throughout the conference.
PLUS: we’re hosting an off-site event on Friday, March 10.


Join Us for Our Off-Site Party!

Part cocktail party, part game-show-style fun, this event will be a chance for you to mingle with fellow writers and experience the Battle of the Craft Experts. The below authors will compete for the title of the Ultimate Craft Champion, while you cheer them on with drinks, cheers, and good-natured heckling.

Lineup:
