Oregon Writers Colony

OWC sends a HUGE THANK YOU to all the OWC member volunteers who helped run the table at the Portland Book Festival on November 8th! We had another successful year of networking at the event.

Please also see some photos from the PBF's Cover to Cover event, "What We Hold and Leave Behind," including readings by OWC member Sharon Wood Wortman and former member Patricia Bolin.
