I can tell you that those of us here at Reading Local are delighted that we can bring together such a stellar lineup of local writers for such a wonderful cause. I know I’ve been saying it every day for the past couple weeks, but for me it never gets old. Seeing how vibrant the Portland literary scene has been, how open-hearted, and generous is an experience unto itself. Even when some outfits wonder if they will still be in business next year they’ve managed to give to others, in this case, Haiti. And that is what makes the PDX literary scene Mighty!
Hawthorne Books - They’ve donated a large stack of SIGNED copies of their titles including Tom Spanbauer’s Faraway Places
Hawthorne Books is committed to independent publishing. While our interest in American literary fiction and narrative nonfiction shapes our catalog, one of our goals is to discover more international titles and books in translation. All of our titles are published as affordable original trade paperbacks but feature details not typically found even in case bound titles from bigger houses: acid-free papers; sewn bindings that will not crack; heavy, laminated covers with double-scored French flaps that function as built-in bookmarks.
Keep your eyes open for their newest title available this April.
