Portland Wired — Reading Local: Portland, and Bookslut
There are a lot of things to be grateful for in Portland in terms of literary arts — a lot of which can be found to your right within our blogroll. I think it’s pretty telling that the longest list is Portland Lit. including businesses and publications such as Literary Arts, Ooligan Press, Reading Frenzy, The Grove Review and Reading Local: Portland. Bookslut is also Portland lit. now — we have it in our favorite blogs section.
These last two online publications are ones that our heart goes thump, thump for lately so we’re featuring them here for you.
Reading Local: Portland is a fantastic site run by founder/publisher Gabe Barber for all things Portland lit. based — readings, reviews, lit. news and events, and more from local writers, reviewers, librarians, and even lawyers. Hawthorne Books six degrees of separation with Reading Local is contributor Spencer Newlin-Cushing was an intern for a day at Hawthorne Books before he got an actual bill paying job in the field.
Mousing along...
Bookslut is all over the map in terms of content and contributors in a good way — this mega-book-web-magazine-blog is where we go for all sorts of book reviews, author interviews and industry news. Added bonus: bookslutman himself — managing editor Michael Schaub now calls Portland home. Little bird says Michael is going to be featured in a great local interview printed any day now.
