Associated Writing Programmes Ireland First Annual Conference: The Writer’s Voice - Call for Conference Proposals
Associated Writing Programmes Ireland (AWPI) aims to be a comprehensive organisation for third-level creative writing activities and programmes across the island of Ireland based in University College Dublin. Proposals are invited for presentations and panels at our first annual AWPI Conference to be held in April 2019 in Dublin.
The conference is interested in receiving proposals which address the broad themes of creative writing, including pedagogy, performance, craft, criticism, the editing process, genre and hybrid text, technology, publication, Irish, and International writing, as well as decolonising the creative writing curriculum.
The committee is interested in panel participation from graduate students. Proposals are also welcome from those who are not affiliated with an institution. We encourage non-traditional formats for presentations.
This event will be held at the same time as a large gathering of Canadian poets and creative writing professors at UCD called “Text / Sound / Performance: Making in Canadian Space,” with whom we will share a reception and public reading. Proposals exploring transnational links are welcome.

The deadline for submissions is 14 December 2018.
Conference presenters will be notified of their acceptance by the end of January, 2018. The conference will be held at University College Dublin, Ireland on Thursday 25 and Friday 26 April 2019.
