I love this recap! This was my first AWP and it's been fun comparing notes after and seeing how each attendee can have such a different path and a different book haul. :D Thank you for also writing about the self-doubt and imposter syndrome that's so easy to feel in these situations. I found it was crucial to take breaks and re-center myself.
Also: the Sloane Crosley talk was livestreamed so you might still be able to watch the recorded version! I watched it live and really enjoyed it, and now really want to read Rich Benjamin's book.
I LOVE seeing everyone's book hauls! I'm glad you were able to take some breaks-- they're essential. and good to know re: Sloane Crosley, I'm going to see if I can find a recording!
i'm so lucky that i got to see you at Lady Drinks AND have lunch with you! I really loved our chat over lunch. Another writer I met said something to the effect of "I'm having so much fun falling into these conversations that are at once very real and deep and intimate and at the same time very casual and easy to have." Sums it up nicely! So much fun was had. Big joy getting to hang with you in person dahling. xo
Love this! Reminds me of the chilled oysters and cucumber mignonette recipe I adapted from hit NYC restaurant Via Carota for easy home cooking!
