The written word of a well-crafted story creates beautiful images in our imaginations. A skillfully drawn or painted piece of art can evoke emotion and wonder.

A Guide to Projects and Planning Conferences

By Amylia Ryan @amylia_ryan and Hope Levy @hopealevy
Since being revamped and restructured last April, the Outreach and Project Development team has finally stabilized and secured a solid foundation for its future.

Ooligan in the World
By Grace Evans @gracemalizia & Elizabeth Hughes @elizabig
From intimate readings to established conferences and book festivals, we’ve spent a lot of time over the past few months arranging opportunities for the world—at least our Pacific Northwest corner of it—to meet our books and their authors. There have been plenty of volunteer schedules to fill, promotional marketing and social media posts to plan, and boxes of books to cart to and fro. In return for that work, we’ve watched our authors delight and charm audiences while their books are admired, applauded, and carried away to new homes. So where in the world have we found Ooligan authors this fall?
