==Criticism==
Place has received criticism for her Twitter account, on which she is retyping text from the 1936 novel ''Gone with the Wind''. The account's page includes a stereotypical African American mammy image as its banner. A film still of Hattie McDaniel as the character Mammy in the film version of the book is also used as the account's profile picture. Though some have argued that the account is meant to scrutinize stereotyping and racism in ''Gone With the Wind'',〔("On not repeating 'Gone With the Wind': Iteration and copyright" ) by Jacob Edmund. December 17, 2012.〕 many have accused it of being racist and petitioned for Place's removal from the 2016 Association of Writers & Writing Programs conference committee on these grounds.〔(Change.org: Remove Vanessa Place from the AWP Los Angeles conference committee )〕 On May 18, 2015, the AWP announced that Place had been removed from the committee.〔(= Update regarding the AWP Los Angeles 2016 Subcommittee ) Retrieved May 18, 2015.〕
