Author Sites on the Web

Search for biographical information on your author.  Interviews are also great ways to learn about your author.

Don't forget to go to GALE, our subscription database. This database will have:

• interviews in magazines and newspapers
• reviews and analysis on specific books
• images of the author.

Search for your author's Official Web Site.  Try searching for your author by putting your author's name in quotations.
