Unsolicited Press is happy to announce that a group of authors will be heading to AWP 2022 in Philadelphia to run a bookfair table. The team is not attending the conference as we are already committed to another event (SMOL Fair). The Unsolicited Press Authors bookfair table is T1354. Authors will be bringing books and will accept cash and/or card depending on their needs. The method of payment will be up to the author. If you are at AWP, be sure to stop by and say hello.

We will be supplying a small assortment of books that can be purchased using a QR code that takes you to our Donorbox account. The QR code will also be affixed to the table to make everything streamlined.
Simply select $10, or higher if you're feeling generous, to pay for a book. |
