The Egg I Brought Home from AWP: Finding Inspiration in the Unexpected By Andrea A. Firth I was walking around the Book Fair at the AWP dragging my feet. By the end of the second full day of the largest literary gathering in North America, I’d attended panels on craft…

Sometimes an essay or story idea is like an egg. Unopened, it could be anything. But what? How a little book about a little thing helped @andreafirth.bsky.social with her essay's vision @dintywmoore.bsky.social brevity.wordpress.com/2026/03/27/a... #writingcommunity #creativewriting #awp

Though I couldn’t be at AWP in person this year, I still got some value out of the AWP virtual experience — particularly the panels with agents. #AWP #literaryagents rachelkolman.substack.com/p/i-attended...

I've been commenting on the headway of my most recent book, the Mary Shelley biography, but The Strophes of Job had a nice time in #Baltimore too, selling out at its #book signing as well. #AWP

I was pleasantly surprised by the small feeding frenzy at last week's #book signing in #Baltimore - a lot of Mary Shelley enthusiasts at #AWP

Here's the obligatory #AWP haul! #awp2026

Ok it's been a bit...what did I miss at #awp?

@brigittewinter.bsky.social + #AWP brought to my attention this wild movie which, while not exactly the direction I took with my story, "Bootcut" @havenspec.bsky.social, is, er, cut from the same cloth. 👖🔪

A signed broadside by Czeslaw Milosz I bought at #AWP

While at #AWP in #Baltimore, I conducted brief interviews with a handful of the some 13,000 writerly types who attended the conference and bookfair. Really passionate, fascinating people doing really important work.

Back from AWP & still feeling grateful to have seen all you wonderful literary folk.

Here are some highlight photos from our Wednesday reading at the amazing "Poe's Magic Theater."

A poem from Outskirts, a literary magazine

Reading through the Outskirts zine I picked up at #AWP, and it's just bangers.

There I was, reading at @greedyreads.bsky.social bookstore in Baltimore on Thursday 5 March during the @tupelopress.bsky.social #AWP off-site 30/30 alumni reading.

So many thanks to @mothergusa.bsky.social for the photos (and video, coming soon to my YouTube channel).

This photo is from the first day of my #CCCC and #AWP conference odyssey, but I’ll post it as its closing image because it captures the feelings, friendships, and literal lights of the events!

Best way to close AWP was with a quick visit and chat with @janefriedman.com! As always, her advice was generous and spot on! #awp #awp26 #writer

Wonderful to see Pitt undergraduate women writers at AWP. If you start this early, the sky’s the limit! #awp #awp26 #writer

Bravo, Lana, for making something magical out of your first conference! #AWP sure can be daunting, but you sailed right through it!
