There is a Michigan Authors and Illustrators Database:

https://libraryofmichigan.state.mi.us/authors/home

We think it's going to move platforms soon, but for now it's there and ready to use.  The advanced search can search by type of author for different visits :)

Hello All: 

I'm seeking a resource/list etc. of Michigan authors and poets with contact information, so I can invite them to our  Author Events to share and promote their books at our library.

 I can't seem to locate a comprehensive one-- does anyone know if such a thing exists, and if so can you share it with me? Or what other resources you use to locate authors for your library?

Thanks!
