February Author Talks


Want to get to know your favorite authors even more? Check out KDL Author Talks, online conversations in which authors of interesting, popular, informative and compelling books share more about their work, their writing process, the things that inspire them and more. These conversations are led by passionate readers from the Library Speakers Consortium, and they offer a chance for attendees to ask questions about their favorite authors and topics. Books and authors cover a wide range of fiction and nonfiction genres; between writers of contemporary fiction, business, history, culture, historical fiction, romance, science and more, there’s an Author Talk available for everyone.
