Yes! We are less than one week away from Barrelhouse magazine’s Conversations and Connections! While I’m not able to attend this spring, I’m planning to attend in the fall (fingers crossed). For those of you who find AWP intimidating, overwhelming, and/or too damn expensive, I would highly recommend checking out Conversations and Connections. It's a bi-annual, one-day writing conference that brings writers, editors, and publishers together. Barrelhouse has been hosting it in Arlington, VA during the spring for over ten years, and has been hosting it in Pittsburgh, PA during the fall for the past five years. As I type this, I’m two hours into my flight back to New York, and have about two and half more to go. I’m crammed between an older gentleman who is reading a book by Orhan Pamuk[1] and a Stony Brook professor who also attended AWP.[2] And I keep peeking up the aisle to see if the snack cart is coming by anytime soon because my stomach is aggressively growling. But, more importantly, this five hour flight has given me a serious span of time to reflect.
