Hi betts! I heard AWP was this past week and I thought, oh! I know what that is! I read about it in Guy in your MFA :))
Did you go to AWP this year? What are your thoughts & experiences from the conference in years past?
i didn't go to AWP this year. it's very expensive if you're paying on your own and not affiliated with a membership organization (like a university).
i don't plan to attend AWP again unless it's free or i'm being paid for it. not to say i'll ever be in a position where that happens, but i find the experience too soul crushing to spend money on it. it's very hard to handle being in an area with 10,000 people who all want the exact same thing you want, and you know barely a fraction of you will ever make it to where you want to be.
AWP also has hundreds of panels to attend. not to mention the book fair part is always the size of an airplane hangar, which is like going to 10 bookstores at once, which means you leave with 10x as many books as you would at a regular store. it's just so overwhelming.
that said, it's usually the place where you can meet up with people you haven't seen in a while or writers/editors you've worked with before. and there are some cool readings to attend and a big party each night. the keynote speaker and other important guest events are also good.
i think every writer should have the opportunity to go at least once. it can be a valuable experience in that, conversely to the point above, being around 10,000 people who want what you want can also be extremely validating. especially if you're in a place where the people closest to you are unsupportive of your writing or you don't know anyone who takes it seriously, it's great to physically see how many people have devoted a significant amount of their lives to the pursuit of writing.

The stock sniper rifle is the funniest thing I've ever seen it's like a metal tube with a plank of wood and a telescope taped to it
