Book Launch & Reading

the Book Launch and Reading event. Typically this event features authors who have published books in the calendar year preceding the conference (2023), but because WAWH did not hold a conference in 2023, we will also accept submissions from authors whose books were released after April 2022, the last conference. 

Selected authors give a short presentation about their book, including a brief excerpt from the text, and then engage in moderated Q&A with the audience.
 

Note: We often receive more submissions than time can accommodate, so please understand that submission does not guarantee acceptance for presentation. The conference committee will be in touch. 

To submit, you will need to enter into the Submission Form:

• Your name and email address.
• publication year
• current occupation
• title or position
• institutional or business affiliation
• 150-word bio
• book title
• publisher
• name, email, and phone number of your editor or the relevant person who we should contact about promoting your book to conference attendees 
• describe previous presentations at WAWH conferences, attendance at WAWH conferences, or other involvement in the WAWH community. 
• Acknowledge that if selected, you understand that you will need to be a current member of WAWH and will register for and attend the conference. The book launch takes place on Thursday night. 

Submission Deadline: October 16, 2023

Questions about the submission should be directed to the 2024 Program Committee at ConferenceProgram@wawh.org.
