The Northwest Author Series
Thanks so much for inviting me to present at the Northwest Author Series. I had a wonderful time, and I’m full of admiration for your good work!
~ Melissa Hart, presenter
I want to thank you for selecting me to be the Northwest Author Series intern. This year has really been one great experience after another.
~ Ashleigh, season two high school intern
I love the Northwest Author Series! The energy from a room full of creative minds is addictive. Where else can you get a writing conference lecture for $5.00?
~ Cassi D. long-time attendee
As a contribution back to my local community and my local library, I created and host the Northwest Author Series, where 32 authors have come to my home town over the past four years to offer educational workshops for the benefit of aspiring writers from Wilsonville, Oregon and the surrounding area (the I-5 corridor from Salem to Portland).
We hope you can join us for a presentation this season!
