The Chester County Library is inviting local authors to apply for the Annual Local Author Showcase. This special event celebrates the vibrant literary talent in the community. Priority will be given to Chester County authors, and if space permits, the library will also consider authors from across Pennsylvania.

The showcase will be held on Sunday, May 18 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Chester County Library located at 450 Exton Square Parkway in Exton. This exciting event provides authors with a unique opportunity to engage directly with library patrons, discuss your work and publishing journey, and connect with fellow local authors. You’ll also have the chance to offer your books for sale and gain visibility within the community.

If you’re interested in participating, please complete and submit the application form before March 21, at https://bit.ly/CCLReadLocalApp2025.

You will be notified of your acceptance status by March 24.

For any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the program coordinator at [email protected].
