Place
Since 1987, the Sylvia Beach Hotel has been home to the Oregon Writers Colony Spring Conference. We arrived the second week they were open, and have not missed a year since. The Sylvia Beach Hotel and Oregon Writers Colony Spring Conference have grown up together. Many attendees return year after year, not only for the quality presentations, but ambiance of the Sylvia Beach Hotel. Whether they sit with an agent at breakfast, lunch or dinner, chat with a published writer/teacher over wine in the library, or join a fellow writer who has already been published for a brisk walk on the beach, the limited number of only 50 people guarantees each attendee the opportunity for meaningful, instructive one-on-one conversations.

The opening event on Friday evening is a wine and cheese get-acquainted reception. You'll also have an opportunity to view all the rooms in the hotel before 7:00 p.m. We offer a critique group up in the library in the late evenings, so be prepared to read a few pages of your work. The mystique of Sylvia Beach will seduce you as we take over the hotel for the weekend and live vicariously in the rooms of Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Agatha Christie, etc.
