AWP 2022: Authors Heading to Philadelphia in UP's Stead

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). Novelist and poet Terry Tierney is at the helm of the Unsolicited Press bookfair table (T1354) and we are so grateful for his dedication to the cause.

The 2022 AWP Bookfair is going to be an amazing opportunity for our writers to connect with readers, to meet one another, and to share their work with one of the most vibrant audiences in the industry. 

The Unsolicited Press bookfair table will be staffed and visited by many writers including: Terry Tierney, Heather Lang-Cassera, Tyler James Russell, Amy Shimshon-Santo, Lara Lillibridge, Ellie White, Maureen Sherbondy, Andy Smart, Matthew Cole Levine, Lisa Badner, Daniel Coshnear, Ron Singer, and many more.

Throughout the duration of the conference, our books will be discounted (at the table and online), a few giveaways will happen, ebooks will be practically free, and many readings will be happening (virtual and in-person). Moreover, we welcome readers and writers to come to the table and talk books with our writers. Everyone connected to Unsolicited Press is a gem of a person.

BOOK SIGNINGS
Several writers will be signing copies of their books at the table too:
TERRY TIERNEY (Thursday, 9:30AM - 11:30AM)
AMY SHIMSHON-SANTO (Friday, 1:00PM - 3:00PM)
TYLER JAMES RUSSELL (Friday, 3:00PM - 5:00PM)
​HEATHER LANG-CASSERA (Saturday, 1:00PM - 3:00PM)

And many other authors will be at the table to sign books. Details to follow.
