Hi! We’re Alana and Tessa, two book-loving friends who met at an author signing, instantly hit it off, and somehow turned our shared love of books into something much bigger.

Booked & Brewed was created from our collective dream of bringing the book community together. We host author signing events throughout the Pacific Northwest where readers can meet authors, discover new books, shop bookish vendors and small businesses, and connect with other people who love books just as much as we do.

For us, these events are about more than filling our bookshelves. We want to create opportunities for authors to find new readers, give readers a chance to discover authors they may have never found otherwise, support small businesses, and build genuine connections within the book community.

We started as two friends who met because of books. Now we get to help create the kind of spaces that allow other friendships, connections, and bookish obsessions to begin the exact same way.

And somehow, with every event, we just keep falling more in love with books and this community.
