Wordstock is the Pacific Northwest’s premier venue for writers, books, and storytellers of all kinds. To date we’ve featured writers from virtually every state in the US, as well as from China, Wales, Iraq, New Zealand, Venezuela, Guatemala, Iran, Sierra Leone, Canada, France, and England.

Wordstock presents approximately 200 authors each year. We ask all of the authors we invite to the Festival to participate in a panel or conversation, a reading, or both. We do not feature authors for book signings only.
