Trio House Press at AWP 2025 – Los Angeles

It’s almost that time of year again — when more than 10,000 writers, professors, students, publishers, and other literary citizens gather for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs’ annual conference. This year, we will be at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and with 10 books planned for publication this year, Trio House has a lot of plans! We hope you’ll join us and/or stop by the booth and say hello!
