Dear Publishers, Editors, Curators of the Spoken Word, and Program Managers of Greater Los Angeles, I'm writing today to introduce you to an exciting event we have planned for this fall on the campus of Woodbury University in Burbank: The First Annual Page and Stage Conference: Bringing Together the Publishing Communities of Los Angeles. On Friday, October 25, 2019, MORIA Literary Magazine-the national literary magazine of Woodbury University-together with the Writing Department and the College of Liberal Arts are hosting a professional conference that will gather together representatives of the various literary magazines, journals, presses, publishing houses, and reading series in the greater Los Angeles area for one day of roundtables, workshops, book displays, and conversation. Our Keynote Speaker will be noted poet and essayist, Dana Gioia, former head of the National Endowment of the Arts and, more recently, the California State Poet Laureate. This conference is not designed for writers and readers, but rather caters to those who publish and/or curate the work of writers for an audience of readers. These are the editors, the publishers, the press owners, the program managers, the reading series curators, the spoken-word event coordinators, the screeners, and the reviewers of the words, rather than the creators or the consumers of the words. This annual meeting expects to serve as a forum for galvanizing the publishing community in our region. The main events will consist of two concurrent roundtables in the morning, a Keynote plenary and luncheon at midday, two concurrent roundtables in the afternoon, and a workshop on filmmaking. Tables for displaying books, chapbooks, broadsides, and promotional materials will be available bookfair-style in our central atrium so that participants and passers-by can browse and buy during the afternoon coffeehour. For those who want to extend our time together, we will also organize an after-hours reading and spoken word event at the delightful, café-like Enkeboll
