The main convention hall
Wordstock, for those not in Portland, is an annual literary festival held at the Oregon Convention Center and sponsored by, among others, Portland landmark Powell’s Books, the largest independent bookstore in the United States. Last year, the graphic novel was among the main themes of the show, and the Stumptown Foundation established the Graphic Novel Garden as a miniature Stumptown Comics Fest within Wordstock.
Jamie S. Rich is probably best known for his years as editor-in-chief of Oni Press, a post he inherited from Oni co-founder Bob Schreck and held from 1999 until 2004, when he left to pursue a freelance writing career. Since then, Jamie has proven a prolific writer of both prose and comics, completing the trilogy of thematically linked literary romance novels he began while at Oni with the most recent installment, Have You Seen The Horizon Lately? He’s also produced the novella, I Was Someone Dead, the ongoing series Love the Way You Love, which ties into his novels, short stories for books like Four Letter Worlds and the roast issue of Usagi Yojimbo, and the original graphic novel, 12 Reasons Why I Love Her.
