#28 - How to Survive a Literary Conference

I’m happy to say I’ll be at AWP in Los Angeles this week. Yes, it’s expensive and takes you away from your writing nest. (Why isn’t AWP ever in New Orleans, huh?) But a literary conference is a great way to recharge your literary battery. In today’s episode, I’ll talk about the value of the many lit conferences, but also how they tie into the losses we all experience. Thanks to everyone who preordered and bought copies of The American Daughters paperback. You brought the book everywhere. See you in L.A. Unless I see you first. LOL This is a public episode.
