The New Martinsville Public Library invites authors with Appalachian roots, themes, or connections to participate in our first annual Appalachian Authors Showcase on Saturday, March 7th from 12pm-4pm.

This one-day celebration highlights the voices, stories, and creativity of our region. Participating authors will have the opportunity to:

• Host a table for book sales and signings

• Be featured in a 30-minute Author Spotlight session by our fireplace

• Be promoted through our social media channels before the event.

We believe in making this event accessible to all authors. There is no vendor fee, and while a donation is suggested to help support the library’s work, every author is welcome to participate regardless of financial contribution

Authors of all genres are welcome, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, memoir, children’s books, and regional history.
