2025 AWP Annual Meeting

UNC Press is excited to be exhibiting in-person at AWP 2025 – we hope you’ll stop by our booth (#1134) to say hello to editor 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!

Our Great Circle Books series has a new series editor! We are so excited to welcome Deesha Philyaw as one of our two series editors for Great Circle, joining Kiese Laymon.

Great Circle Books 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 and Deesha Philyaw

UNC Press Sponsoring Editors: Lucas Church and Cate Hodorowicz
