I recently participated in a Local Author's Fair which was held in the Clark County Public Library in Springfield, Ohio (April 25, 2015). The day was a rainy, cold spring day, but inside, it was warm and there were lots of people! Although, I believe most of the people who attended were aspiring authors looking for tips, and inspiration for their work, there were people there just looking to see what authors from our area had written and offered for sale.
There were authors of all ages there. One young lady looked like she was still in her teens, and one dear lady was 80 and a bride of 2 weeks! And there were genres of every sort, from children's books to Science Fiction. There was a local heart doctor, and mom's, and teachers, and retirees. Proving there is no age limit, or occupation requirement, or for that matter, education requirements for being a writer. If you have something to say, there is a way to get that message out there!
I will post the pictures I took that day. Not all of them are perfect photos, but if you are interested in one of these folks or their books, you can look them up on the Internet. Here is a list of the attending authors and their books:
