Our annual Meet an Author, Be an Author event took place October 19, 2024 at Central Library. At the event, attendees enjoyed meeting authors, browsing/buying books at the author fair, attending writing workshops, and networking with published writers, aspiring writers, and fans! This event is great for anyone thinking about writing or publishing their work, or exploring the local literary scene. This is an annual event - check back here for information about the 2025 event.

Made possible by Friends of the Library through gifts to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.
