Join us on the day before Mothers' Day to hear seven local women writers share their unique voices.  VoiceCatcher is an anthology of prose and poetry showcasing the work of Portland women. Featured readers at this event include Teresa Boze, Naomi Fast, Constance Hall, Nikki Jardin, Susan Mach, Kristin Thiel, and Nikki Schulak.

VoiceCatcher exists because a group of women who love to read and write wanted to collect the voices of local women and offer them to the community. 

VoiceCatcher represents a wide range of voices through a transparent and cooperative publishing process. This team-building process empowers Portland women writers to cultivate skills and talents, and develop confidence and craft. Participation in VoiceCatcher provides an accessible opportunity for both burgeoning and proven artists from a diverse, multi-generational community.

VoiceCatcher’s collective efforts result in the creation and publication of an annual anthology of new poetry and prose, written feedback to those who submit their writing, public readings, and various contributor events. It is a volunteer association, not-for-profit, overseen by a Board of Directors. Working with other organizations such as Write Around Portland and Portland Women Writers, VoiceCatcher uses any profits that might result from our endeavors to provide scholarships to women writers who otherwise may not have the opportunity to further develop their skills.
