The Make-out Room & Other Stories is a compilation of newspaper articles by author David Porter. The title story won first place for Best Humor Column from the National Newspaper Association in 2020. The cover is designed by Lana Hill.

In the preface, Porter states that the "humor is not guaranteed." The author uses a subtle, dry wit for stories that are sometimes poignant, sometimes silly but highly relatable. The articles are short, usually 2-3 pages. The book is available on Amazon.com and the Barnes & Noble website as a paperback, hard cover and a large print edition.
