Book Clubs & The Luminist
Here at Hawthorne Books, we love our readers and want to provide them with a reading experience that is engaging and interactive. One of the best ways to do this is to reach out to book clubs, which is what we’ve been doing lately.
There are tons of book clubs out there, and if you look ...Read more.
Lit Gifts!
Although we may have been hearing jingly pop renditions of “The Little Drummer Boy” for at least a month already, the final countdown to the holidays is officially here now that we’ve hit December.
So if you’re still struggling to find those unique gifts that don’t involve a dreaded trip to the mall, might we ...Read more.
Aftermath Review
.
Real life doesn’t end when the credits roll or the last page turns. There is always the slow, quiet drive home from the movie theater as we try to realign our own expectations with the temporary thrill of a good story. We did not just save the world from aliens or overcome all odds to ...Read more.
Portland Literary Internships
We get a lot of requests from local folks hoping to do an internship at Hawthorne Books — unfortunately way more than we can accommodate. Every spring, fall and winter (and sometimes summer) we have two, 10-week, unpaid interns and they help us out immensely. Lately we’ve been getting double and sometimes triple the amount ...Read more.
Review Copies and Literary Awards
Every spring Hawthorne Books decides whether to have a summer internship or not. Summer is the slowest month in the world of publishing and so we often scale back to just HB staff. We’re doing that this summer (we always have our fall, winter and spring internships) so the last couple weeks of our spring ...Read more.

Don’t get me wrong, I always have time for books as an idea, as a conversation topic, as a table ...Read more.
Crow Arts Manor
.
Let’s face it: we’re lucky to live here. It seems that Portland’s enormously rich literary landscape just keeps expanding, and the latest addition to a long list of amazing industry resources is a brand new community center for the arts. Crow Arts Manor, located in NoPo’s Milepost 5 art community, opened its doors this April ...Read more.
Multnomah County Library
.
Given Portland’s fame as a literary center and reading city, it should come as no surprise that our library system ranks as one of the best in the country. In 2010, the Multnomah County Library announced that the previous year it had achieved the highest circulation in the United States for libraries serving cities of ...Read more.
Portland Writing Resources
.
While larger institutions such as Borders bear the brunt of a recession and the rise of e-books, Portland’s independent literary community remains strong.
Classic hands-on resources for local writers, such as Southwest Portland’s Independent Publishing Resource Center (IPRC), are thriving through member support, volunteers and a strong creative community. IPRC offers a full schedule of ...Read more.
Portlandia and Books
.
IFC’s newest sketch comedy Portlandia, featuring Fred Armisen (SNL) and Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney, Wild Flag), lightheartedly jabs at cultural quirks and characters that are distinctly Portland.
Among the bike nerds, dumpster divers, and other brands of hipsters and hippies portrayed in the show, Portlandia also features a humorous look into the local literary scene. Often ...Read more.
