  25. Dove Garvan on October 22, 2024 at 4:05 pm

    Mom of a seven month old here, hanging on to my writing life by a feeble thread. Hoping this festival could be an inspiring gust of wind in my sails. I want my son to see a mom who maintained her creative life while also loving him to bits. Being around other passionate readers and writers always helps!

  26. Trevor Skidmore on October 22, 2024 at 7:02 pm

    My wife would love to attend this event. It could inspire to write again
    Thank you in advance.

  30. Eileen on October 22, 2024 at 10:05 pm

    I would love to learn and smoozz with other writers and authors for a day in my beautiful literary city! I appreciate the opportunity.

  33. leonard on October 23, 2024 at 3:20 pm

    would love to attend

  34. PW on October 23, 2024 at 10:05 pm

    I’m probably going to volunteer in the box office selling tickets since I can’t afford to go, but it would be nice to attend a festival as an attendee for once and not always a work trade. Definitely a different experience. I’d go to every cookbook author event. I’m in Stone Soup PDX, a culinary retraining program, and trying to participate in every culinary opportunity that I can. Health problems prevent me from working regularly, so I’m thankful to have opportunities like this. Thank you. 🙂

  35. Megan L on October 24, 2024 at 3:35 pm

    I’m hoping to take my 2.5 year old book-lover!

  36. Ashley on October 24, 2024 at 8:09 pm

    This would be so fun!

  37. Jeanne on October 25, 2024 at 6:36 am

    My sister in law just had her first book published and this would be the perfect birthday present for her!!!

  38. Stacy on October 25, 2024 at 4:58 pm

    My birthday is November 5th and it would be so much fun to celebrate here.

  39. Jen on October 26, 2024 at 6:32 pm

    I’d love to go to this with my dear friend, D!

  40. Katelyn Hays on October 27, 2024 at 7:48 pm

    I’d love to go!

  41. Mia on October 27, 2024 at 11:11 pm

    My mother read to me every night as a child, and the library was my babysitter. Books are my lifeblood. They lift me through the dreary rainy season. I cannot think of a better way to honor my mother than writing a book. The Portland Book Festival can help make that childhood dream come true.

  42. Alison T on October 31, 2024 at 12:52 pm

    Me and my bookish friends would LOVE TO GO !! We love BOOKS!!
