Erynne Rivers in conversation by Stephanie Binx

Details

Grand Gesture Books is so excited to welcome PNW debut author Erynne Rivers to Portland, OR to celebrate her new release, WENCH. She'll be joined in conversation by local author, Stephanie Binx. Alex Land of Mad Woman Literary will be moderating this event.

Every $35 ticket includes a paperback copy of Wench and entrance to the book talk and crafting. There is a $10 plus-one ticket option, which is available as an add-on to a general admission ticket. Companion tickets include entry into the event conversation and signing line only. This ticket option does not include a book. Everyone who attends this event must have a ticket. This fun event will include an audience Q&A and an optional photo and signing line. Stock may be brought from home to sign.

These tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If your availability changes and you're unable to attend the event, and would like for someone to pick your book up for you, then that's fine; just send them a photo of your ticket so a staff member can scan it and mark your name off. If no one is able to pick up your book, then we will send out an email the following evening to ask you if you'd like for your book to be picked up at the store or shipped to your home. Your signed copy will be held for you at Grand Gesture Books for two weeks. After that time, your book is considered abandoned and we will restock the item to our inventory.
