Iowa Authors
Iowa Center for the Book Iowa Author List
The Iowa Author List includes authors of books who are presently living and writing in Iowa.
The purpose is twofold:
- For readers – a source of information about Iowa authors and what they have written.
- For libraries, schools, and other organizations - information about Iowa authors who are interested in accepting speaking engagements.
Authors included in this list are writing for the non-specialist reader. Authors of adult, young adult, and juvenile books will be part of the list. The book must be in physical format, printed and bound. We include published collections of short stories, poems and essays from a single author.
Self published books are eligible for inclusion as long as they are print-on-paper.
We don’t include individual poems, broadsides, or brochures at this time because of our focus on the book as an object in its own right. We do not include books that are available only electronically (on the Web, etc.), leaving the creation of a bibliography of electronic works to some other group to consider in the future.
