Children’s book author Shasta Kearns Moore, whose interview is in Brave on the Page, signs my personal copy of the book. I’m hoping to get all 42 signatures!

There weren’t as many people packed into the Oregon Convention Center for Wordstock this year. The main part of the festival was held October 13 and 14.

There you have it–my own personal gallery of Wordstock photos.
I worked like crazy in August and September to launch Brave on the Page before this October 13-14 weekend, and it was definitely worth it. I had so much fun seeing many of the contributors wander by the Espresso Book Machine booth, meeting other writers and chatting with exhibitors. I wrote about Day 1 here, Day 2 here, and the highlights here.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Espresso Book Machine booth to ask questions and say hello!
Laura, I am having a vacarious thrill for you. It sounds like you had a great time and met other book lovers and buyers to boot !!
I’m glad you could join me there, if only through through these photos, Florence! I can’t wait until next year’s.
