New York State Authors and Illustrators of Books for Young People

 

A collaboration of the School Library Media Section (SLMS) and the Youth Services Section (YSS)

of the New York Library Association

 

This directory is a compilation of authors and illustrators who currently reside in New York State. This is only as good or as current as you make it. Please make it useful by adding, subtracting, and changing information as necessary.

 

Also, under each name is a category for library or school references. If you have hosted this author, please put your organization name, your name, your email address, and your phone number so that others may contact you for information on your experience.
