Call for Authors!

Melrose Public Library is seeking local, published authors to participate in an upcoming Melrose Author Meet & Greet on Saturday, March 28, 2026.  Readers will be afforded the opportunity to meet new authors and learn about the talent within the community.  Authors will have the opportunity to promote, sell, and sign copies of their work.

If you are a Melrose/Wakefield author who has published a book in the last three years and would like to participate, please fill out this form in order to be considered by Saturday, March 7, 2026.  Older publications will be considered as space for the event allows.

If selected to participate, the library will contact you with additional details.  A copy of your book will be required and will be added to the Melrose Public Library’s collection.

*Please note, space is limited.  The library reserves the right to accept or refuse any application at its discretion.  Preference will be given to Melrose and Wakefield residents and then to authors with a local connection.
