SUMMARY:Verse of Ages 2024
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate National Poetry Month\, OWC is once again hosting Verse of Ages.\nGet ready for a month of prompts and myriad ways to stretch your imagination!\nSkip the rules and see how words spark ideas and then go where they take you.\nHere are some ways to use the prompts\, but these are just guidelines: \n\nUse the word-of-the-day in a poem.\nFree associate to see where the word takes you.\nBuild a web of connected ideas and images to add to your quiver.\nChange the word’s part of speech. \nUse the word to build a compound word.\nBrainstorm a list of rhyming words\, slant rhymes\, words that repeat the consonant sounds\, words that repeat the vowel sounds.\nExplore the word’s synonyms and antonyms.\nDig through a Thesaurus or mine the adjacent words in a dictionary.\nCombine words on consecutive days and work them into a single poem.\n\nShort or long; formal\, blank\, or free verse; topical or fanciful or anything in between—your choice. Wind up your imagination and let it spin. \nA poem a day? Go for it!\nStart writing Monday\, April 1\, and to plan share your work at a Poetry Slam on May 7th at Stack’s Coffeehouse\, 1831 N. Killingsworth in Portland from 7 to 9.

SUMMARY:Annual Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the lovely Sylvia Beach Hotel for a weekend celebrating writing with dynamic author and instructor Kate Ristau. It’s the Oregon Writers Colony Annual Conference in its 33rd annual gathering at the Sylvia Beach Hotel in Newport. Dates for the conference are Friday\, April 29\, through Sunday\, May 1. \nThe hotel requires proof of Covid vaccination and masking in common areas. Bring your vaccine card to present at check-in. \n \nKate Ristau is an author\, folklorist\, and the executive director of Willamette Writers. She is the author of two middle-grade series\, Clockbreakers and Wylde Wings\, and the young adult series\, Shadow Girl. You can read her essays in The New York Times and The Washington Post. In her ideal world\, magic and myth combine to create memorable stories with unforgettable characters. Until she finds that world\, she’ll live in a house in Oregon\, where they found a sword behind the water heater and fairies in the backyard. \n\n  \nSandra will be taking appointments for individual pitches and consults.\nSign up when you sign up for the conference. \nSandra Bishop\nA literary agent since 2008\, Sandra Bishop represents a boutique list of notable nonfiction and award-winning fiction authors who write across a variety of categories. \nShe is currently interested in considering commercially viable non-fiction submissions on pop-culture\, celebrity memoir\, cooking\, hobbies\, travel\, lifestyle\, parenting\, and relationships from authors with an established platform\, online or media presence\, or recognized expertise.\nSandra is interested in representing established romance authors seeking representation. She is not open to other fiction queries\, though will consider partial manuscripts from writers she meets at conferences or via referral. \nSandra passionately supports her clients closely from idea through negotiation and beyond\, and works alongside an author’s editor\, publicist\, and marketing team to help create opportunities for success. \nSandra is a former Marine\, and is also a Portland\, Oregon native who doesn’t like ale\, drive a Subaru\, wait two hours in line for brunch\, or live in a treehouse with a lumberjack (much to her dismay.) She does enjoy hiking\, live music\, paddle-boarding\, sunshine\, star gazing\, and working out of her home office located halfway between the scenic Columbia River Gorge and the rugged Oregon coast. \nFounded 25 years ago\, Transatlantic Agency is a leading literary management company with a vibrant and diverse team of 20 experienced agents based in cities across North America.
