Hey, whether you're at #AWP26 or at #NotAtAWP26, let's help hype each other's stuff today. What books, pieces, or projects do you have that you're promoting? Let's reply and re-post and help turn this grizzly world into something a bit more beautiful today.

For real though, if you find yourself having drinks with a literary agent and talking about basketball (Pistons in 6 in '26), maybe mention the dad hoopin' novel I'm querying?

Wish you could hit the book fair? The hotel bar? Just pile up your 79 unread books you already own by your computer, grab a drink, and get NAWPy!

(I know that links to an ancient post. I've since heavily revised a good chunk of the novel and just started querying agents again.)

100% agree and also that said if any lit agents happen to think it's because of too few sports novels about dads, hit me up:

"USA v. Rockies" is also a landmark supreme court case where they ruled 6-3 it is okay to blow up a mountain as long as a venture capitalist signs an affidavit saying he thinks there are jewels inside
