National Author’s Day

October 29, 2021

From poems to graphic novels and fiction to textbooks, authors give us content that sweeps us away and allows for self-interpretation. Storytelling gives us an experience of something that happened in the past, the occurrences of today, or a glimpse into the future. Whether fiction and non-fiction, the work of an author can open our minds to new worlds of thought.
