2012 AWP Conference and Bookfair
Photographic highlights
JKPublishing and SLP have had a crazy couple of weeks, due both to the enthusiam of our supporters and our tendency to procrastinate. Last spring, we entered a panel proposal for the 2012 AWP Annual Conference and Bookfair. We learned that the AWP accepted this panel in August. We didn't start preparing for the panel until January. That's where you came in.

After certain outside funding options failed, we gave ourselves 3 weeks to throw a fundraising party and raffle in order to get ourselves to Chicago. You responded so kindly, with enthusiasm, your gifts and art. We had such a kick-ass selective raffle that strangers were coming by to participate.

I thanked you all specifically in the last blog post, so I will thank you generically but emphatically now. Although I won't post our press's exciting plans for the future until the next blog, let me say that going to this conference has exposed us to so many inspiring people and presses. They have lit a fire under us; they have challenged us to get better. And because you believe in us, you are helping us to get better.
