Welcome to the Illinois Authors Wiki!
The Illinois Authors Wiki is a project of the Illinois Center for the Book. It is a means to share information about Illinois authors, photographers and illustrators.
You can search for authors by going to the left navigational bar and:
- clicking on the alpha list to search by the first letter of the author's last name, or
- inserting a key word (name, pen name, city, title of book, name of school, etc.) in the search box and clicking on "Go" or "Search".
Are you wanting to contact an Illinois Author?
Please refer to the author's profile page for contact information. Any information we have for the authors will be listed there. Please note: Emails sent via the "Contact Us" link on the wiki do not go directly to the authors. They go to the Coordinator of the Illinois Center for the Book.
