UTAH AUTHORS DAY SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3RD, 2022 –
WE’RE BACK BIGGER THAN EVER!
Utah Authors Day was created in 2021 in collaboration with Utah Humanities and Governor Cox to recognize the unique community of authors we have within our state. This re-established the Utah State event, first created in the early 70s by the League of Utah Writers with Governors Rampton and Matheson. The League of Utah Writers and Utah Humanities are working together again this year on the first Saturday of December – December 3rd, 2022 celebrating the annual community event in 19 HOST LOCATIONS around the state with OVER 100 AUTHORS!
We have several bookstores and libraries ready to highlight our local talent with author signings, online and in-person prizes, meet and greets, and more.
