Meanwhile, if the official event schedule has you cross-eyed, The Portland Review has compiled a shorter list of AWP highlights, mostly featuring their own contributors and alumni, but it’s a bit more manageable and also highlights some offsite events for after-hours. Elsewhere, The Rumpus has put together their own list of recommended events.Īnd of course, don’t forget to come to the kickoff event sponsored by CutBank at Dig a Pony on Wednesday night, 8pm. If that’s not enough for you, here’s another list of tips compiled by The Writer. Also, if you text WELCOME to 444999 she’ll send you a lot more resources, including checklists, reminders, a packing guide, and even a conversation starter guide for the socially awkward (who, us?). Paulette Perhach also has a good list of #AWPtips on Twitter, so follow her at and search #AWPTips for more useful advice. It has links to a webinar about how best to navigate AWP while staying sane and (also) having a good time, a pre-made Google map of the Convention Center and downtown Portland with all the AWP essentials (including best places for coffee, breakfast, and even a few walks to seek some peace and quiet) and a pretty useful list of tips (which include preparing a good elevator pitch and making sure your AWP app profile is filled out and ready to go so you can tell anyone you meet to find you later on the app). This page by writer Paulette Perhach really is key. Scrolling through it with a pen and notepad is a good place to start.

The official AWP attendee guide is full of useful information and tips, along with lots of nice, glossy pictures. The first is obvious but not to be overlooked. But planning is key, and so to help you best wrangle all that’s on offer at AWP, we’ve rounded up a few of the most helpful links out there. So many options! Thank god for the daily yoga offerings and the Dickinson Quiet Space-we’ll need a few moments of quiet here and there. That’s to say nothing about all that Portland offers beyond the walls of the Convention Center.
