We want the adjuncts, freelancers, bloggers, poets, painters, singer-songwriters and genre fiction writers to come together and share the ways they’re working within a tradition that may trouble them, challenge them, and inspire them all at the same time.” The conference is accepting panel session proposals from January 15 – February 1, 2017.
