The application deadline (Oct 15) is approaching for the 6th annual Great Writers Right Here author fair.
Tell everyone you know–share the application on social media, and forward it to your writing friends. This is a great opportunity for both established and emerging authors to connect with readers and with other authors at a high-quality, curated event. We welcome authors representing children’s books, fiction, poetry, graphic novels and nonfiction. We also welcome Kansas publishers and small presses to sell their work and connect with authors in attendance.
This event is completely free to authors and the public. Avid readers and emerging writers are encouraged to attend the fair, where they can meet you and support your work.
Complete and submit an online application form for each author by Mon, Oct 15, 2018. We will respond no later than Nov 1. Space is limited for this event.
Each author should staff his/her table, be prepared to talk about his/her books, and handle all responsibility for books sales and signing.
