Going to the 2024 AWP conference in Kansas City?
We’re looking for guest bloggers to write up reports on the panels, because, as always, we expect our cloning abilities to malfunction.
We’ll post the schedule of panels over the next few days and if you’d like to claim a panel to write about, let us know in the comments (and we’ll cross it off our list here).
What to Write: We’re looking for a summary of the panel/panelists, poignant quotes, and personal reactions–aim for 500-700 words. The goal is to give those who aren’t there a good idea of what went on. These reports are also a way that we include writers, teachers, and readers who may not be able to attend the conference. It’s a wonderful act of literary citizenship, and in advance, we’re grateful for your time.
Submission Timeline: Bloggers will submit their panel reports within 24-48 hours after the panel is concluded. This gives our readers a sense of participating in the conference in real-time. Plus, you’ll get all of the juicy tidbits out while they’re fresh in your mind.
Submit! Once your blog post is ready, use Submittable to send it to us, along with a one-or-two line bio and we’ll post them ASAP. Be sure to include the original panel information, so we can include that with your post. We want to post these on a rolling basis as the conference is going on. We’ll also tag you on our social media platforms when your report is published.
Stay tuned for our panel wish-list and thanks for all you do for Assay! Questions? Drop us a line in the comments below.
