Whether you're in San Antonio next week or not, here's what you need to know. Plus, a recap of the week's writing at Atticus Review.

It’s that time of the year again:

!), where we will be selling our hot-off-the-presses

. The annual will be sold at a discounted rate, and we’ll throw in a free laptop sticker to boot.

We’re also running a “print annual selfie” contest during AWP. Share a pic featuring your copy of our latest print annual, tag us on Twitter

, and you’ll be entered to win one free contest entry for any of our upcoming contests!

Of course, we’d love for you to just come by and say “hi” if you’ll be in attendance. Our EIC

will be there, as well as fiction editor

, creative nonfiction editor

, book reviews editor

, and assistant CNF editor

.  

You can also see Michelle Ross at

on Friday, March 6th.

Catch Aditya Desai at “

” offsite reading (featuring the writers of Barrelhouse’s “

” issue) on Friday, March 6th, and on the AWP panel “
