Q: Who selects the AWP Conference & Bookfair events from the proposals? The conference subcommittee, composed of the committee chairs from the AWP Board of Directors as well as professionals from AWP’s membership, is responsible for accepting or rejecting proposals. Each subcommittee member spends approximately four weeks reading, reviewing, and ranking between two hundred and three hundred proposals. Each proposal is reviewed by at least three subcommittee members. All events are grouped, reviewed, and ranked alongside proposals of the same event type. Incomplete proposals are removed from consideration. For more information about the selection and scoring process, please see our event proposal guidelines.
