The AWP Conference & Bookfair reflects the broader literary community, with all of its creativity, passion, and diversity evident on the programming schedule. AWP’s mission is to create space for all writers to be represented, and to that end, we are committed to supporting as diverse and inclusive a slate of panels as possible. Each year, AWP assembles an independent subcommittee to adjudicate proposals, and we use aggregate evaluations to identify the strongest proposals for acceptance onto the conference schedule. We acknowledge that perspectives put forth by individual programs and speakers may not be shared by everyone, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the AWP board, staff, literary partners, sponsors, or each conference attendee. For more information about the proposal adjudication process or the subcommittee, please visit the How Events Are Selected page and the 2026 AWP Conference Subcommittee page.
