The aim of the festival is to build a stronger literary community in our area by encouraging and spotlighting local writers while also making connections with the writing and publishing community beyond Yamhill County, but you don’t have to be a writer to attend. Anyone interested in writing, reading, and the literary life will find something to enjoy. The festival is open to anyone age 12 and up. 

The 2025 festival is supported by:

Past speakers

Since the first Terroir Creative Writing Festival in 2010, we have hosted both emerging and established writers from across the region. 


These include Ursula K. LeGuin, Molly Gloss, Jean Auel, Tracy Daugherty, Kim Stafford, Paulann Petersen, Henry Hughes, Fonda Lee, Chelsea Cain, Willy Vlautin, C. Morgan Kennedy, Andrea Stolowitz, Steve Duin, Laura Stanfill, Emily Grosvenor, Joe Wilkins, Barbara Drake, and many more. 


With 10 to 15 speakers each year, many outstanding authors have shared the secrets of their craft, offered encouragement, and read their work.
