3 listedApplication guidance
Authors and illustrators with a strong Ohio connection are encouraged to apply. The fair prioritizes work published by traditional publishers, though self-published authors with professional production values are considered. Submissions typically open in the spring for the fall event. Prepare a concise pitch that highlights your Ohio ties and the appeal of your book to a general audience. Since space is limited, early application is advised. The selection process is competitive but favors those who can demonstrate a commitment to community engagement and literary quality.
