Oregon Book Club

September 21, 2012 By Becky Kjelstrom

The Oregon Book Club is a new program that connects great Oregon authors with Oregon Writers Colony members. Every season, we choose a soon-to-be-released book and mail it to Oregon Book Club members. While you’re reading your book, there will be opportunities to discuss the book with fellow members, write reviews, and interact with the author. Members who donate at the VIP level will also get a chance to meet the author at a catered book club discussion in Portland, Oregon.

In addition to four books over the course of the year-long membership, Oregon Book Club members get all the advantages of an Oregon Writers Colony membership, including access to the historic Colonyhouse.

Oregon Book Club titles are carefully selected by OWC staff and volunteers, and don’t conform to any genre. Publishers interested in having titles considered for the Book Club should contact us the season before the book’s release date. Self-published books will be considered if the book has been professionally edited, has an ISBN, and if the author provides a distribution and publicity plan. Authors must live in the state of Oregon or Clark County, Washington at the time of the book’s release.

For more information contact us at info@oregonwriterscolony.org.
