What to Read from AWP Writers

During the two days I spent at the AWP conference (the largest writing conference in the US) last weekend, I compiled a list of titles that we’re either being promoted or suggested by presenters. Just a fun list, most of these titles I have not read so if they are terrible, don’t blame me. haha!
