waynesboro libraryThe Waynesboro Public Library will host more than thirty authors during Author Fest on Saturday, March 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is the fourth year of the free annual event that showcases local authors who will be meeting the public and selling and signing books.

The participating authors write in a wide range of genres, including romance, mystery, thriller, horror, nonfiction, Christian fiction, fantasy, poetry, science fiction, historical fiction, young adult and children’s.

Adult services librarian Rebecca Lamb says, “Author Fest is the library’s way of supporting local writers, from those who are already successful to those who have just published their first book. This is also a great opportunity for the public to meet authors and learn about writing and publishing a book.”
