This blog is a collection of news, links, tidbits, events, etc. about the literary world of the Pacific Northwest, mainly Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.

Right now I'm catching up on a backlog of clippings - so things will not be in chronological order. Sorry - see the "Articles List" page if you need help finding something.

Since the blog writer (that's me) is based near Portland, Oregon, and this blog was started mainly as a way for me to keep track of things I find interesting, much of this will probably be centered around the Portland area. But anything relating to or about the PNW literary scene is fair game.
