Princeton Public Library is accepting applications from authors interested in participating in an Author Fair.
The fair is part of PPL’s sixth annual Local Author Day, scheduled for April 12.
Open to authors from Central New Jersey and Bucks County, Pa., with preference given to those who reside within 20 miles of Princeton Public Library, the Author Fair takes place from 1-4 p.m. as the highlight of Local Author Day.
Selected authors will be given a space to display, sign and sell books during the fair.
Space is available for 36 authors with priority given to writers of adult fiction or non-fiction. Writers in other genres, or for other age groups, are also welcome to apply.
The library will select four featured authors to give a 12-15 minute reading during the fair. Ten additional authors will be chosen by lottery to read for 5-7 minutes.
Authors supply their own books and keep all proceeds from sales during the fair.
In addition to the Author Fair, Local Author Day features workshops for writers. The workshops are open to the public and begin at 10 a.m. Details are to be announced.
Authors who wish to apply for the fair must email Shelly Hawk at shawk@princetonlibrary.org to receive a link to an online application. Applications must be submitted by Feb. 17. Notification of acceptance is set to be made by March 3.
More information is online at princetonlibrary.org.
