Yes, it’s as awesome and geeky as it sounds—a Woodstock for word people. With workshops for writers and teachers throughout the weekend, the book festival is being held Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The festival has over 200 exhibitor booths of publishers and other word people including: Ooligan Press, Powell’s Books, Indigo Editing, McSweeney’s, Tin House, Timber Press, and Willamette Writers. Throughout both days you can visit with and get books signed by many different authors from the Northwest and beyond. There’s even an interactive children’s corner, so it’s a great event for the whole family. At the Oregon Convention Center, tickets are only $5 a day (children 13 and under are free) and can be purchased at the door. Check it out at:
