AWP Panel: Chapbook Publishing in the 21st Century
(w/ Genevieve Kaplan, Lucas Southworth, Kristy Bowen, Elizabeth Wilcox, Ander Monson)
4:30 P.M.-5:45 P.M
Wiliford B, Hilton Chicago, 3rd Floor

Even as print traditions are evolving rapidly, chapbook publishers embrace and promote a somewhat antiquated literary form: the printed chapbook. Chapbook editors and publishers participating in this roundtable will offer perspectives on the business and art of the chapbook, centering their discussion around advantages of the printed chapbook format, aesthetics and innovations in chapbook publishing, and methods for success for new and established chapbook publishing ventures.

about our space

We are located on the 9th Floor in downtown Chicago's historic Fine Arts Building, a gorgeous structure with over a hundred year history of housing the arts--(music, architecture, painting, graphic design, dance,& more) and one time home to Poetry magazine, the Saturday Evening Post, The Little Review and The Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum. From time to time we open our doors to the public for salons and open studios, as well as make book-fair appearances and host readings around the Chicago area. Watch this space for upcoming events.
