Welcome to the UNC Press Virtual Exhibit for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs.
Scroll through our newest releases!
If you are not able to be with us at the conference, we’re bringing our book exhibit to you.
From virtually anywhere, you can browse our list of new and recent titles, chat with one of our acquisitions editors Lucas Church or Cate Hodorowicz, and more.
We have exciting news — we’ve just published the inaugural book in our new series,
Great Circle Books!
Great Circle Books publishes literary nonfiction—including memoir, literary journalism, personal and lyric essays, and work that defies easy classification—by emerging writers. The Great Circle is the intersection of lines on the celestial sphere—lines overlapping and creating new entryways of understanding. In that spirit, Great Circle Books seeks, through innovative work, to merge the human experience with our relationship to place.
Series Editors:
- Kiese Laymon
- Marie Mutsuki Mockett
