Photo: Debbie Reese and Eric Gansworth at AWP2015

Back in April, I was up in Minneapolis for AWP 2015. Heid Erdrich snapped this photo. I meant to share it here on AICL then, but time got away from me, as it is want to do! So, here it is, today!



AWP is the Association of Writers and Writing Programs. Here's the blurb about their conference (from their website):
The AWP Conference & Bookfair is an essential annual destination for writers, teachers, students, editors, and publishers. Each year more than 12,000 attendees join our community for four days of insightful dialogue, networking, and unrivaled access to the organizations and opinion-makers that matter most in contemporary literature. The 2015 conference featured over 2,000 presenters and 550 readings, panels, and craft lectures. The bookfair hosted over 800 presses, journals, and literary organizations from around the world. AWP’s is now the largest literary conference in North America.
AWP 2015 was the first time I went to that conference. I was there as a moderator for a panel that included Eric and Debby Dahl Edwardson, too. Good times there, and with Sarah Park Dahlen and her family, too!

Blog: Debby Dahl Edwardson

Through child_lit (see info about the childlit listserv here), I became acquainted with Debby Dahl Edwardson. I subscribed to child_lit in 1995 or thereabouts. Sharing my perspective---one that challenges a lot of what gets published in children's books---I encountered a lot of resistance from people on child_lit.

Since then, there's more people on child_lit who are willing to challenge the status quo. Debby is one of them. I'm glad to see she's started a blog. Take a look, and bookmark her site.
