General Author ResourcesSee also our Literature Databases This site is maintained by Akihito Ishikawa, Department of English at Nagasaki University of Foreign Studies, Japan, and is in the form of an alphabetical listing of links to informtion concerning over 300 authors. BookNook: Authors Our very own BookNook Authors' Directory. BookSpot: Authors A good collection of author links from the popular BookSpot site, including author interviews, authors reading their own works, etc. Librarians' Index to the Internet: Authors A variety of carefully-selected links from the renowned Signature Project at the Library of California. 
Organized alphabetically by author within the five genres of fiction, drama, essays, poetry and critical theory. This directory is an index of indexes available through the Lousiana State Universty Library. It contains pointers to individual author guides or other cumulative documents that deal with specific writers. Admittedly, most of these authors are "literary," and it does not include many authors from genres such as science fiction or romance. Barnes and Noble offers this site allowing searches for authors by name and by genre. You can also sign up to be the first to know about your favorite author's new releases. Via Michigan eLibrary: Authors MeL is our own state's premier digital library, and this site offers a wide variety of high-quality links centered about authors and their books.
Via Michigan eLibrary: Michigan Authors and Illustrators Michigan Authors and Illustrators (MIAI) is a database of information on authors and illustrators born in Michigan, who live in Michigan, or who have written books about or set in Michigan. Each entry includes biographical information, lists of works by the person and lists of works about the person. More complete information is available for those authors and illustrators who provide information to us. The database is a collaboration of the Michigan Association of Media in Education (MAME), the Library of Michigan (LM) and the Michigan Center for the Book (MCFB).
