The 2023 CD Wright Conference has its keynote—Rebecca Gayle Howell—and is bringing back its bookfair! One of the scheduled participants is @oxfordamerican! As we schedule more, we will let you know!


Seriously: it is only through an extraordinary act of restraint that we’re not sharing the keynote speaker for #CDWrightCon23 sooner than promised!
