Call for Local Authors at the Cannon Beach Library

The Cannon Beach Library’s NW Authors Series invites local published authors to apply to our Local Authors Festival, held on Saturday, September 26th, from 3-5 p.m. at the library. Connect with visitors and members of the community, meet with other local authors, and promote and sell your published books. The deadline for applying is June 30th and all authors that apply will be notified of their status via email by July 25th.

To apply for table space, submit the online application form or download and print an application on our website, https://cannonbeachlibrary.org/events/call-for-local-authors-2/.  Applications can also be picked up at the library, 131 N Hemlock Street in Cannon Beach.

Local published authors of any age with books published in any genre are invited to apply, including self-published authors. We’re primarily looking for authors from the Washington peninsula through the southern Oregon coast. Ideally, we will be looking for 3 fiction authors, 3 nonfiction authors, 3 mystery authors, and 5 children’s/YA authors.

The Local Authors Festival is designed to create a space to connect local published authors with readers, and to highlight the accomplishments of local published authors. Please make sure to read the application guidelines and event information before applying!
