Oregon Book Awards Author Tour

Connecting local writers and literary organizations across Oregon.

Every year Literary Arts invites Oregon Book Awards winners and finalists to participate in the Oregon Book Awards Author Tour, which offers free readings, school visits and writing workshops in public libraries and independent bookstores and other venues in towns across the state.

The tour promotes Oregon Book Awards authors in towns they might not visit otherwise, and establishes connections between Literary Arts and literary organizations across Oregon. Recent tour partners include Hand2Mouth Theater, Deschutes Public Library, Dallas Public Library, Dufur School, and Lane Literary Guild.

In addition to the Oregon Book Awards Author Tour, Literary Arts partners with publishers to distribute hundreds of copies of Oregon Book Awards titles to libraries across the state.
