AML Annual Meeting at the library at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
The theme of the Meeting is “Proving Contraries: the power of paradox in Mormon literature and film.”
We're tremendously excited to announce that the keynote speaker for the AML Annual meeting will be Terryl L. Givens. With the publication of The Viper on the Hearth, By the Hand of Mormon, and most recently, People of Paradox, Terryl Givens has established himself as perhaps the best respected and most insightful scholar working in Mormon Studies. We're honored that he was able to find time in his busy schedule to address us.
The day-long meeting is free and open to the public and starts at 9am.

Other Events
March 26, 2009
On Thursday, March 26 the fifth annual Publishers Fair will be held in the Garden Court of the Wilkinson Center at BYU from noon until 6 p.m.
This annual event provides students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends the opportunity to meet with editors from a range of markets, from both inside and outside the state.
Editors will meet with prospective authors, illustrators, photographers, and editing students to examine their work and offer suggestions and sometimes even jobs or publication.
Authors who wish to submit their work to a publisher should bring either a query letter and synopsis or the manuscript in proper format along with a submission letter and a self-addressed, stamped envelope. If you have nothing ready to submit at the moment, come anyway and meet some very interesting and helpful people.
Publishers and editors interested in attending must register in advance to assure having tables, chairs and whiteboards in place. Please email your requests to ckwhitley@juno.com
