DCPL Local Author Expo

Decatur Recreation Center

Multi-purpose Room

Join us for the DCPL Author Expo as we celebrate local authors from all across Metro Atlanta. Authors will be on hand to discuss their work as well as sell and autograph their books. 

Featured genres will include fiction, nonfiction, inspirational, self-help, children’s, science fiction and more. Come out and support
our local talent!

Authors can visit any DeKalb County Public Library to pickup an application. All authors are welcome to submit an application; however, preference will be given to applicants who DID NOT participate in the Fall 2019 Author Expo. Submission of registration form does not guarantee you will be selected. The registration deadline is Friday, March 13, 2020.
