Subject: [Michlib-l] Re: Looking for local LGBTQIA+ Authors
 
I know of one author on that side of the state, but I don't have contact information. S.A. Hunt, author of the Malus Domestica series. I don't know if that's helpful, but hopefully you can track that person down.

Hello all,
I know this is short notice, but if anyone happens to have any contact information for local LGBTQIA+ authors. We are in West Michigan, so that would be ideal for their travel. 

We were planning to host a Pride author fair on June 2 (hence the short notice), but the person who was coordinating the authors fell through. I was able to get one author myself, but if I can't get some others then we will have to cancel and that would be a HUGE bummer. 

If anyone can offer any recommendations and websites/contact info, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,
