<p>Thanks Jessica!</p>
<p>I am the current president of the Upper Peninsula Publishers
& Authors Association (UPPAA) and I'm happy to refer authors
to librarians who are interested in an author appearance for any
type of event. While most of our authors are from the U.P., some
are below the bridge and others are willing to travel longer
distances for such an opportunity.</p>
<p>All I need to get started is your geographic location, dates
you're interested in filling, and any kind of "theme" that you're
looking for (e.g. children's author, history, fiction, etc.)</p>
<p>Email me <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:president@uppaa.org">president@uppaa.org</a></p>
<p>You can learn more about our 501(c)6 Non-Profit at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://UPPAA.org">https://UPPAA.org</a> Among our many public outreach projects are
the annual anthology U.P. Reader (which I am happy to send any
library a sample copy) and Dandelion Cottage Short Story Contest
which is open to any child in the U.P. school system grades 5 to
12.<br>
</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Victor Volkman</p>

<div>The Negaunee Public Library has held something of the sort
for a number of years. During the week that everyone is back
for class reunions and other fanfare, we have hosted 6 or 7
authors in our meeting rooms. Sometimes I've invited authors
personally; this year I reached out to the Upper Peninsula
Publishers and Authors Association and had enough authors
volunteer their time within a day or two of putting out the
call.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We do not charge them anything for the space, and provide
coffee and water. They keep all their proceeds from their book
sales. Some kindly donate their books to the library, or offer
us discounts.<br>
</div>

</div>
<div>Participating authors have enjoyed connecting with readers
and especially each other.</div>

we're in the brainstorming stage for planning something for

Any info would be great! Thanks all.<br>
