Fishtrap’s mission statement, formulated many years ago and re-affirmed frequently, is “Fishtrap promotes clear thinking and good writing in and about the West,” sometimes abbreviated as “Writing and the West.” Based in Northeast Oregon's Wallowa Valley, Fishtrap continues to fufill this mission through writing workshops for youth and adults, our annual summer Gathering, the Eastern Oregon Writers-in-Residence programs, a writing retreat on the Imnaha River, and many other local and regional programs.

Indelible Mark Publishing was founded to promote writing that matters, writing that expands awareness for the well-being of the planet and humankind. In an age in which truth has been disregarded, distorted or glossed over by those whose overriding allegiance is to the unquestioning bottom line, we look for writers with something important to say that impacts our lives and leaves...an indelible mark.

UPSTART E-PUBLISHER MAKES A SPLASH
Puddletown Publishing Group, an e-publisher based in the Portland, Oregon metro area, announced its formation in January 2011. In March 2011, the publisher began releasing titles formatted cross-platform for digital readers. Founded by Susan Landis-Steward and Renée LaChance, Puddletown Publishing Group is adopting a business model that favors authors and embraces digital as the preferred method of content delivery for an author’s work. Puddletown is old school enough to offer print-on-demand editions as well. Puddletown has released two historical fiction novels, two youth, one mystery, and one ecoterrorist novel. Several of our authors will be present at the festival and we look forward to it.
