AWP Press Materials
JKP & SLP Hit the Big Time





As many of you know, JKP & SLP (consisting of Erin, CJ, and author Colleen McKee) will be heading to Chicago on Wednesday to attend this year's Association of Writers and Writing Programs Annual Conference and Bookfair. This is the largest literary gathering in North America (more information on the conference here), and we hope to meet colleagues and patrons alike. We will be chatting about our press, of course, but also about the amazing revival of literary culture in St. Louis.

Many of you supported us at our fundraiser last week, donating artwork and performances, gifting money, and buying raffle tickets and books. You helped us raise $515, or about 85% of the direct costs for attending this conference. These proceeds will cover our transportation, board, and nearly all of our registration fees. Thank you: we are blessed by your support.

In recognition of your gifts, here is a preview of the information we will be distributing at the conference this week.

And, or course, we'll be carrying dozens of gorgeous, handmade chapbooks:

Again, THANK YOU for your support and kind wishes. We couldn't do it without you.
