Details for Writers

* If you’re planning to read, please arrive between 6:00-6:15 pm to register!

The Winter Reading & Book Release is a celebration of the book and the writers published in the book. Every writer published is invited to read at this event.

• Please ask your workshop facilitator for the reading sign up form and turn it in to your facilitator so we can put your name—as you requested it to appear in the anthology—in the event program and list of readers. If you did not sign up to read with your facilitator, please call 503-796-9224 by 2 days before the reading to sign up.
• The event is free. Bring your friends and family!
• Each published writer will receive one free copy of the book at the reading. Published writers can purchase additional copies for $6 each at the reading or $10 each on our participant book sales page. (General public/bookstore price is $12.)

Preparing for the Reading

• Write Around Portland will send you a confirmation/reminder letter about a week before the reading. In the letter, we will let you know which piece was chosen for the book along with a copy for you to practice with.
• You are invited to read the piece that was published in the book.
• Children and families are welcome at our event. If your writing includes adult language, content or themes, please plan to read later in the evening so that parents can choose whether or not they want their children to hear this writing.
• If you are unable to attend the reading, please call the Write Around Portland office (503-796-9224) by 2 days before the reading to let us know.
