November 16, 2016 By Jan

Stumptown Lit 2016 will showcase the work of 20 OWC author members.

Home-grown talent runs the gamut from memoir to mystery, picture books to poetry, science fiction to speculative fiction.

Authors will be on hand to mix, to mingle, and to sign their latest titles. Don’t miss this festive occasion!

Stumptown Lit will be from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday, December 7, at June Key Delta Community Center, 5940 N. Albina Avenue, in Portland.

Brief author presentations—putting the stump in Stumptown—will take place between 7:15 and 8:30 p.m.

Exhibitors’ Tables Available for Stumptown Lit

August 18, 2015 By Jan 1 Comment

We want small presses, booksellers, writers’ organizations, editors, book designers, cover artists, indexers, website designers, and other literary or arts groups to be part of the celebration of the literary community at Stumptown Lit, October 19, 2014, in the World Forestry Center.

During the book fair portion of the day, from noon to 5 p.m. exhibitors at tables around the hall will be able to meet and share their message with fair-goers. Oregon writers will be reading throughout the afternoon, and coffee and snacks will be available for purchase.

The book fair is part of a full day of activities, beginning with a publishing workshop and children’s story hour in the morning and ending with a gala reception honoring Jean Auel in the evening.

You may rent one of a limited number of tables for your organization. They will be available until Sept. 24, if they aren’t all reserved before that.

Thanks for Your Interest

Registration is closed for the OWC exhibitors’ tables at Stumptown Lit 2014.

But be sure to come by and browse the tables and exhibits, listen to our Oregon authors reading their works, and enjoy a fall afternoon of literary camaraderie.

See you there.
