2024 AWP Annual Meeting

UNC Press is excited to be exhibiting in-person at AWP 2024 – we hope you’ll stop by our table (T1408) to say hello to editors Lucas Church & Cate Hodorowicz and to browse our literary nonfiction titles on display. If you can’t join us in-person, you can always visit our virtual booth!



Everywhere the Undrowned: A Memoir of Survival and Imagination by Stephanie Clare Smith, the first book in our Great Circle Books series, publishes next week! Pick up this Kirkus Reviews #1 Must-Read New Memoir at our booth.

Great Circle publishes literary nonfiction by emerging writers about place—emphasizing those who have not yet published a book-length work of literary nonfiction. The series welcomes the full range of the genre, including memoir, literary journalism, personal and lyric essays, and work that defies easy classification.

Series Editors: Kiese Laymon & Marie Mutsuki Mockett 

UNC Press Sponsoring Editors: Lucas Church & Cate Hodorowicz

You can learn more about the series here. Contact: greatcircle@uncpress.org
