2016 AWP Conference Schedule 2016 AWP Conference Schedule Thursday, March 31, 2016 12:00 pm to 1:15 pm R198. Writers Editing Writers Room 515 B, LA Convention Center, Meeting Room Level ( Brigid Hughes, April Wolfe, Yiyun Li, John Haskell, Vanessa Hutchinson) Editing is perhaps one of the least glamorous but most necessary aspects of the writing process, and an author’s relationship with their editor is one of the most valuable ones they can cultivate. This panel brings together two A Public Space Emerging Writer Fellows to discuss their own processes with their respective mentors, both established authors and A Public Space contributors. 1:30 pm to 2:45 pm R203. The Literary Genius of Kendrick Lamar Diamond Salon 6&7, JW Marriott LA, 3rd Floor (Rion Scott, Mensah Demary, Nathaniel Marshall, Kiese Laymon, Natalie Graham) Hip-hop and literature have always intersected, but the genres find an even greater connection in the work of Compton, California’s Kendrick Lamar, who has released three albums that rival the greatest works of fiction and creative nonfiction in depth of theme, imagery, and storytelling complexity. In this panel, writers influenced by Lamar's work discuss what writers can learn about storytelling from the rapper's albums, which are novelistic in both scope and structure. 3:00 pm to 4:15 pm R243. The Changing Face(s) of Publishing Room 403 A, LA Convention Center, Meeting Room Level (Jane Friedman, Erin Belieu, Daniel José Older, Roberto Tejada, Kevin Prufer) Digital innovation, the VIDA count, #WeNeedDiverseBooks, a seeming explosion of translations—the face of publishing, tools for publishing, and reasons for being a publisher are all changing at a disorienting speed. In this panel, editors and contributors to the recently released Literary Publishing in the 21st Century debate and interrogate issues of success, power, diversity, and politics (among others) as literary publishing—and authors—look to the next thirty years. 4:30 pm to 5:45 pm R270. The Print Journal in a Digital Age Gold Salon 3, JW Marriott LA, 1st Floor (Michael Dumanis, John Freeman, Brigid Hughes, Uzoamaka Maduka, Wayne Miller) Five editors of print literary journals founded in the past ten years discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by print publishing in an era when internet publishing may seem a less risky choice due to its low cost and universal distribution. Why make a commitment to print in the 21st century? Has the role of the magazine changed? Who still reads print journals these days, and why? How can print literary culture be reinvigorated? Might this be a favorable time for a print renaissance? Friday, April 1, 2016 10:30 am to 11:45 am F161. Small Beer Press: 15th Anniversary Reading Room 513, LA Convention Center, Meeting Room Level (Sofia Samatar, Ayize Jama-Everett, Gavin Grant, Maureen McHugh, Juan Martinez) Fifteen years after Small Beer Press was founded to publish works that cross genre definitions, traditional bookstore shelving options, and academic course descriptions, four authors from different parts of the USA who now all live in California read from their books and then discuss the spaces their books were published into with Small Beer Press publisher and cofounder Gavin J. Grant. 1:30 pm to 2:45 pm F203A. A Reading and Conversation with Jonathan Franzen and Elizabeth McKenzie, Sponsored by the Center for Fiction Concourse Hall, LA Convention Center, Exhibit Hall Level One (Elizabeth McKenzie, Jonathan Franzen) Jonathan Franzen is the author of Purity and four other novels, including Freedom and The Corrections, and five works of nonfiction and translation, including The Kraus Project and Farther Away.

Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Best American Nonrequired Reading, and the Pushcart Prize anthology, and has been recorded for NPR's Selected Shorts. F211. Current Trends in Literary Publishing Room 406 AB, LA Convention Center, Meeting Room Level (Jeffrey Lependorf, Christopher Fischbach, Neal Thompson, Tyson Cornell, Jane Friedman) A panel of industry experts shaping independent literary publishing discuss how publishers are addressing current challenges and hurdles, as well as creating new opportunities. Hear these literary leaders of publishing, bookselling, and reader engagement reveal how they reimagine traditional forms of publishing while integrating innovative new trends. F213. The Author as Entrepreneur: How to Build Your Writing Business Room 408 A, LA Convention Center, Meeting Room Level (Mary Rasenberger, Janis Nelson, Lauren Cerand, Michelle Richmond) A successful writing career demands more than writing books. Every author, whether self-published or traditionally published, increasingly takes on the role of small business owner, making more decisions at each step of the publishing and marketing process, from contract negotiation to reading tour. This panel, presented by the Authors Guild, explores what authors need to know about contracts, taxes, marketing, and publicity to succeed in an ever more competitive publishing marketplace. F228. Writing (and Editing) Sex Room 515 A, LA Convention Center, Meeting Room Level (Dani Shapiro, David Means, Christine Schutt, Sabina Murray) Writers and editors discuss sex in literature—the good, the bad, and the ugly—and look at ideas of craft when it comes to depicting and editing sex. 3:00 pm to 4:15 pm F233. Pitch Perfect: How to Write and Successfully Pitch Freelance Articles to Magazine Editors Gold Salon 3, JW Marriott LA, 1st Floor (Christine Lee, Mark Armstrong, Doree Shafrir, Rachel Riederer, Marie Myung-Ok Lee) Five writers and editors with extensive backgrounds in print and digital periodicals discuss the tenets of pitching nonfiction work. How do you catch an editor’s eye? How can you make your pitch stand out?

  • Troll's Eye View
    Troll’s Eye View A Book of Villainous Tales Edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling Available only from Teacher’s Junior Library Guild 7858 Industrial Parkway Edition Plain City, OH 43064 www.juniorlibraryguild.com Copyright © 2009 Junior Library Guild/Media Source, Inc. 0 About JLG Guides Junior Library Guild selects the best new hardcover children’s and YA books being published in the U.S. and makes them available to libraries and schools, often before the books are available from anyone else. Timeliness and value mark the mission of JLG: to be the librarian’s partner. But how can JLG help librarians be partners with classroom teachers? With JLG Guides. JLG Guides are activity and reading guides written by people with experience in both children’s and educational publishing—in fact, many of them are former librarians or teachers. The JLG Guides are made up of activity guides for younger readers (grades K–3) and reading guides for older readers (grades 4–12), with some overlap occurring in grades 3 and 4. All guides are written with national and state standards as guidelines. Activity guides focus on providing activities that support specific reading standards; reading guides support various standards (reading, language arts, social studies, science, etc.), depending on the genre and topic of the book itself. JLG Guides can be used both for whole class instruction and for individual students. Pages are reproducible for classroom use only, and a teacher’s edition accompanies most JLG Guides. Research indicates that using authentic literature in the classroom helps improve students’ interest level and reading skills.

  • Obit Magazine
    Alternate Obituaries by Matt Blanchard APRIL 26, 2011 Maybe someday every obituary will be as honest as Steve Almond’s, but let’s hope not. In 24 inches of unblinking newsprint it is revealed that Almond was a middling writer with crippled dreams, that students in his writing course found him creepy in a sexual way, and that his death came “after a long battle with hope.” Was Almond survived by an adoring family? Not exactly: … He was a loving but distracted father who was eager to please his two children, but often felt he could not reach them. He depended on his wife for support and grew resentful toward her because of this dependence. She, in turn, retreated from his hostility. This is not the form obituaries take in our culture, but it could be. Almond’s is one of 44 alternative obituaries gathered from writers, comedians, sculptors and video artists for “Let It End Like This,” a Tribeca gallery show reimagining a genre that traditionally conceals as much as it reveals. Contributors include the writer Susan Orlean, the electronic musician Moby, feminist and Six Feet Under script writer Jill Soloway, and legendary Saturday Night Live comedy writer Alan Zweibel (creator of Roseanne Roseannadanna, among other sketches), who tacked up a simple paper headstone communicating a kind of posthumous Portnoy’s complaint: Alan Zweibel Writer-Husband-Father 1950-2045 If you can read this, it means you are standing 6 ft. above my former penis “Let It End Like This” runs to May 14th at Apexart in Tribeca, and is almost too diverse to characterize.
