AWP Panel, Unlearning What You Learned Just Now: Writing Strategies After Your First Book

  • Kansas City Convention Center 301 West 13th Street Kansas City, MO, 64105 United States (map)

With Julie Iromuanya, Jimin Han, and Ted Wheeler! We want to believe that writing is cumulative—that we benefit from habit and repetition—and it’s true, the more we write, the more we know about writing. But what works on one project might not translate to the next. Much of the work we need to do is unlearning, a willingness to go back to not knowing, so we can explore the possibilities of not being fully sure of ourselves. In this panel, four novelists discuss their unlearning and what they left behind as they embarkedon new projects.
