About two hours of looking at beautiful books, talking to awesome authors, and collecting a bounty of business cards later, Emmily and I are headed home. We’ll post our #PDXBookFest haul once we get there 😁

Congratulations, Rin, Rebecca, and Emmily, for graduating this past weekend with your Masters degrees in Book Publishing! 🥳

Rin was chosen by the cohort to give a speech, and she did a great job. Brought a tear to Emmily’s eye 🥹

We had to leave the Small and Self-Publishing (S2) Faire, but we had such a great time meeting everyone and hearing about their books! Thank you to Ali Shaw and Christine Longmuir for putting on this wonderful event.

Also, Emmily won an Indigo package from the raffle 🥳
