Red Fern Booksellers has announced plans to host its first local authors' fair, offering a space for local writers to present their work, engage with the community, and sign copies of their books. The event will feature eight authors and is scheduled to take place later this year at the bookstore, located at 106 South Santa Fe Avenue, in Salina.

An open call for authors is now underway, running from Friday, August 9 to Friday, August 23. The fair is being organized by Jerzee Mullins as part of her internship at Kansas Wesleyan University.
