The Carmel Clay Public Library will hold a Local Author Fair, a celebration of literary talent and community engagement, from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24 at the Main Library, 425 E. Main St. Admission is free.
Attendees will have the unique opportunity to connect with dozens of local authors representing a diverse range of genres. From established writers to emerging voices, the fair will showcase work by authors from Carmel and the surrounding area. Authors will discuss their writing, sell and sign books, and share insights into their creative process.
“We’ve seen an increase in recent years in the number of authors in our community, especially as self-publishing has taken off,” said library Adult Services Assistant Manager Kendall Culbertson. “This event will be a great way to connect those authors with new readers and for readers to learn about the writing process from the people who do it.”
Local authors who are interested in being part of the event may apply online through July 26 at carmelclaylibrary.org/local-author-fair.
