Wordstock is a literary art & education organization that stages the city of Portland's annual book and literary festival.

Wordstock is a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating writing in the community and writing in the classroom. It stages the city of Portland's annual book and literary festival, the largest celebration of books and writers in the Northwest.
