Alternative Writers’ Party with MWPA

Every March, thousands of writers, editors, and publishers flock to the annual AWP Conference to talk shop, trade book recommendations, and unwind with friends and drinks.

This year Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance (MWPA) is throwing its own March shindig. The Alternative Writers’ Party will feature flash readings from 5 debut authors with books out in 2023 and will include plenty of time to mix, mingle, and laugh with new and old friends.

Debut authors include:

·      Brandon Ying Kit Boey, author of KARMA OF THE SUN

·      Nick Fuller Googins, author THE GREAT TRANSITION

·      Jennifer Lunden, author of AMERICAN BREAKDOWN

·      Rebecca Turkewitz, author of HERE IN THE NIGHT

·      Maya Williams, author of JUDAS & SUICIDE

Attendees may also register at the door.

If you are a Maine author with a 2023 debut and would like to attend Alternative Writers’ Party Portland as an honorary guest, please email Taryn Bowe at taryn@mainewriters.org. We would love to celebrate you too!
