If you (unlike me) are so organized that you’re already mapping out your schedule @awpwriter hope you’ll add our upfront, no-bullshit panel NEVERTHELESS, THEY PERSISTED: THE WRITER AND THE LONG GAME to your docket Saturday 3/11
ALT 12:10 p.m. to 1:25 p.m. Room 327, Summit Building, Seattle Convention Center, Level 3 S155. Nevertheless, They Persisted: The Writer and the Long Game (Sara Lippmann, Robert Lopez, Leland Cheuk, Steve Almond, Christine Sneed) In this candid panel, authors at various stages of their careers will share some grim industry setbacks-books in the drawer, books that didn't sell, etc.-in an effort to validate the often rejection-paved road, dismantle the misguided mythology of marketplace, and above all, to encourage stamina and perseverance by reframing capitalist definitions of success / failure and positing refreshing, nonpatriarchal alternatives to narrow publishing attitudes that preserve the integrity of one’s art.
