The Oregon Book Awards
The Oregon Book Awards are presented annually for the finest accomplishments by Oregon writers who work in genres of poetry, fiction, literary nonfiction, drama and young readers literature. All finalists are promoted in libraries and bookstores across the state, and invited to take part in the Oregon Book Awards Author Tour, which brings finalists to public libraries and independent bookstores in towns including North Bend, Eugene, Newport and Astoria. Oregon Book Awards Special Awards honor some of the state's most dedicated supporters and lovers of books.
Oregon Literary Fellowships
Oregon Literary Fellowships help Oregon writers initiate, develop or complete literary projects in poetry, fiction, literary nonfiction, drama and young readers literature. Writers in the early stages of their career are encouraged to apply. The fellowships also support Oregon's independent publishers and small presses.
