Southern Oregon Book & Author Fair

The 2009 Southern Oregon Book & Author Fair is being held on Saturday, November 21, 2009 at the Ashland Springs Hotel in Ashland, Oregon. 

This annual Northwest author book fair has become a regional favorite over the years. It is also the perfect holiday opportunity for Pacific Northwest authors, particularly Oregon authors, to promote, display and sell their books, meet readers, and network with other regional authors. For readers, this is the perfect opportunity to meet regional Northwest authors, and kickoff your holiday fair gift shopping with books, AUTOGRAPHED BOOKS, and m-o-r-e BOOKS!

There is always a Featured Author in attendance who is nominated and selected based on criteria that: the author is a Northwest author whose book are either nationally known or are well-known within its genre, and the author has received an award(s) for one or more books. This year’s Featured Author is Lorena McCourtney, mult-award winning Christian Mystery author and romance author.

The 2009 Southern Oregon Book & Author Fair will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The event takes place on  the 2nd floor Ballroom and Conservatory of the famous, historical Ashland Springs Hotel, located at 212 E. Main Street in beautiful downtown Ashland, Oregon. (Click here for directions.)
