Hello! For those who are attending the Association of Writers & Writing Programs 2021 Conference and Bookfair in March, I just wanted to do a key date reminder or sort of a checklist.

I did a post about this before, but this is a reminder for those who already registered. You may want to do a checklist of all you were required to attend this year’s first virtual event. Take a look below at the key dates, info for registered attendees, and such.
