WELCOME TO THE 2019 PORTLAND BOOK FESTIVAL Since relaunching the Portland Book Festival, presented by Bank of America, five years ago, Literary Arts has welcomed more than 500 authors and tens of thousands of community members of all ages. Thank you for being a part of the Pacific Northwest’s largest festival of books and ideas.

Our Festival advice is to be open to the unexpected: attend a panel in a new genre, catch a pop-up reading, explore the book fair. Some of the greatest magic of the Festival is in the opportunity for discovery.

We look forward to exploring with you on Saturday, November 9. Don’t forget to share your Festival experience with #PDXBookFest.

Happy reading,

Andrew Proctor Executive Director Literary Arts

Amanda Bullock Director of Public Programs Literary Arts

GENERAL FESTIVAL INFO BOOK SIGNING AND POLICIES

ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY

Authors will sign books immediately following their onstage event unless otherwise noted. Books must be purchased from a Festival bookstore in order to be signed, with the exception of one pre-owned book per author.

Literary Arts has a zero tolerance policy for harassment of any kind, including but not limited to: race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, gender presentation, sexual orientation, age, body size, disability, appearance, religion, citizenship, pregnancy, marital or familial status, and/or military or veteran status. Harassment includes but is not limited to: stalking, verbal or physical intimidation, offensive verbal comments, physical assault and/or battery, harassing or non-consensual photography or recording, bathroom policing, inappropriate physical contact, and/or unwelcome physical attention.

The Festival features satellite bookstores at every all-day Festival stage, where attendees can purchase a book and get it signed on site.

EVENT ENTRY INFO A Festival pass admits you to all Festival events. Entry to and seating at Festival events is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and standing in line does NOT guarantee entry to an event. Plan to arrive early to your desired events. Saving seats is not permitted. All rooms will be cleared between events. The schedule for the 2019 Festival has onstage events and pop-up readings starting every 15 minutes. If your desired event is at capacity, you can check out a different discussion, find a pop-up reading, explore the Portland Art Museum, or take a break at the food carts.

REMEMBER: YOUR $5 VOUCHER IS GOOD AT ANY FESTIVAL BOOKSTORE OR VENDOR IN THE BOOK FAIR!

Literary Arts recognizes that reading and writing, by their nature, include exposure to controversial and challenging ideas. Therefore, harassment does not include respectful disagreement or critique in good faith.

Literary Arts reserves the right to revoke, without refund, tickets of any attendee or participant not in compliance with this policy and the right to remove any person not in compliance with this policy.

For full policy, please visit literary-arts.org/harassment-policy.

By purchasing books at the Portland Book Festival, you are supporting the authors and publishers who travel from near and far to share their work at the Festival, as well as the booksellers and vendors who invest time and expense to be at the book fair. Please buy early and often, and know you are supporting the sustainability of the Portland Book Festival.

ABOUT LITERARY ARTS Founded in 1984, Literary Arts is a community-based nonprofit literary organization located in downtown Portland. Our mission is to engage readers, support writers, and inspire the next generation with great literature.

PROGRAMS OF LITERARY ARTS
