Program Description

Emerging Authors

An emerging author is a writer who has some professional experience and recognition but has not yet reached an established level. The term is often used to describe early-career writers who may need support. The library’s Emerging Author Collection offers local authors the opportunity to have their books on shelves and in circulation, receive wider exposure, and reach an audience they might not otherwise influence. Learn more about the Emerging Author Collection, including how to submit your work. This winter, the library is also supporting early-career writers with programs, tools, and encouragement!
