AWP Virtual Exhibit

Welcome to the UNC Press Virtual Exhibit for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs.

Scroll through our newest releases!

We’re looking forward to getting together at the conference. But in case you won’t be traveling this year, 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 editors Lucas Church or Cate Hodorowicz, and learn about new titles published in our new book series, Great Circle Books, and Radical Souths.


UNC Press has partnerships with four journals that publish creative writing.

Appalachian Review

Formerly Appalachian Heritage, this journal showcases the work of emerging and established writers throughout Appalachia and beyond.

North Carolina Literary Review

Publishes poetry, fiction, and nonfiction by NC writers, as well as interviews, articles, and essays about the state’s literary culture.

The Greensboro Review

Faculty- and student-run journal from UNC Greensboro showcasing writers whose work may be risk-taking or overlooked.

Southern Cultures

This award-winning journal explores the history, politics, folklore, literature, and art of the South.
