AUGUST 30, 2018 // 21 Writers group holds book sale, open house ASTORIA — The League of Intertidal Writers, a new As- toria-based literary arts non- profit, will hold a fundraising book sale and open house 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9, at 639 Clatsop Ave. in Astoria. The sale will feature a col- lection of used titles of literary fiction, mysteries, thrillers, memoir, science and nature, biography, travel, classic Pacif- ic Northwest tomes and some rare and desirable books. Hardbacks will cost $2, paperbacks $1, and some books are specially priced. The League will also hold a raffle every half hour, where winners will receive unique literary-themed prizes (book- ends, literary arts, journals etc). Visitors will also have the opportunity to learn more about The League from its members. The League of Intertidal Writers mission is to produce and disseminate free print publications of prose and poetry written by writers from the Pacific Northwest coast. The organization consists of about 20 members from all over the region who meet on a regular basis in Astoria to write, converse, laugh, listen, think, build community through the sharing of ideas and produce free print publi- cations.

RIGHT: The League of Intertidal Writers’ debut publica- tion, ‘Kindness and Gratitude” PHOTOS COURTESY LEAGUE OF INTERTIDAL WRITERS The League of Intertidal Writ- ers’ front door, opened, at 639 Clatsop Ave. Spit Press, joins the group on occasion as a writing coach. In the spring, the orga- nization released its debut publication, “Kindness and Gratitude,” and received a tremendous response from readers near and far, who resonated with the theme. The reaction to the tiny Kindness publication was inspiring and surprising. The group received an email from someone who said the poem “Why I Watered the Plants the Day We Left Each Other” helped him cope with a pain- ful breakup. All proceeds from the book sale and raffle are earmarked for The League’s second publication, on the theme of truth, to be released this fall. For more information about League events, gath- erings and workshops, email leagueofintertidalwriters@ gmail.com. All writers — from poets, songwriters, essayists, nov- elists, greeting card writers, bloggers, journalists and his- torians to teachers of writing — are welcome to join.
