Do you think if we make a new account called NEANAWP and make the banner art an AI American flag with eagles & explosions we can get a massive grant?
Okay, so that grammatically should be Not Even at Not at AWP, eh. So it goes.

Just like last year, I'm not only Not at AWP, I might have so many kids' events that I'm Not Even Not at AWP.
Just a head's up: I won't be at AWP next month even though I love Baltimore and poetry and readings.
So, as per usual, I'm NOT at AWP, which is to say @notatawp.bsky.social. @mitchnobis.bsky.social and I will be holding our annual pity party poetry and prose reading virtually. Stay tuned for dates

I (Mitch) try to avoid using the NAWPstrich to hype my own stuff too much, but honestly, this post has immeasurable NAWP energy.
Most of my writing happens in the summer weeks, so if you recall my big plumbing disaster house thread from June/July, that's pretty much my writing year in review.

NAWP is for writers who, for whatever reason, can't go to AWP. NAWP stands for "Not at AWP" because for years, Mitch and Jared made jokes about being busy teachers and parents who couldn't get away to...
