Welcome to the Illinois Authors Wiki!
The Illinois Authors Wiki is a project of the Illinois State Library's Illinois Center for the Book. It is a comprehensive resource for information on authors, photographers and illustrators who have published books and have lived in Illinois or written about Illinois.
What makes the Illinois Authors Wiki different from other wikis is that all entries made to the Illinois Authors Wiki are done so by the voluntary efforts of password authorized librarians, authors, publishers and other interrelated individuals who are working to develop a vast and comprehensive resource about Illinois authors. The Wiki is a continual work in progress and will become stronger with the additions of the authors themselves and through the work of specialists who share an interest in Illinois' literary heritage.

The exterior of the building is highlighted by a frieze etched with the names of 35 Illinois authors. These 35 authors were either Illinois natives or whose works are closely identified with the Prairie State. To learn more about these authors, click on their names below.
