Save the Short Story

Short Story Events at AWP

Filed under: Editorials — Pei-Ling @ 12:01 am

I printed up the gajillion-page AWP Conference Schedule (and had a mini-fight with the printer to do it) and here are some seminars dedicated to the short story. Of course, this is for the lucky 7,000 people who actually registered on time for their passes. All of you procrastinators can come meet the One Story staff at the Bookfair on Saturday, February 2 at the New York Hilton, which is open to the public.
