WELCOME TO THE 2018 PORTLAND BOOK FESTIVAL The Portland Book Festival presented by Bank of America is an event for every kind of reader. The stories at the Portland Book Festival cross borders and build bridges; between countries, between people, between bodies, between ideologies. Your literary heroes will take the stage alongside exciting new voices.

Only at a book festival could you experience all of this in a single day. We encourage you to explore the wide range of events, from marquee on-stage interviews to pop-up readings in the galleries of the Portland Art Museum. Don’t miss the book fair, where you can pick up festival authors’ books and discover local presses.

We look forward to celebrating books and literature with you at the 2018 Portland Book Festival on Saturday, November 10.

Students to the Schnitz gives young people access to great books and influential authors. The College Essay Mentoring Project pairs mentors with college applicants. And the annual Verselandia! poetry slam showcases high school spoken word artists.

In addition to awards and fellowships for emerging and established writers, the program also offers writing classes and literary events at our downtown center and produces the Oregon Book Awards Author Tour, which connects writers and readers throughout the state.
