Utah Authors Day

At a local library or independent bookstore near you
Utah Authors Day is a statewide holiday event that features Utah's local literary scenes: local authors, local libraries, and independent Utah bookstores. Find a participating location near you, and celebrate our state's wealth of literary talent.
Submissions Open
Spring 2027
The League offers four writing contests every year, with a variety of categories for genre and type of work. Whether you're a new writer looking for feedback on your work or an experienced pro, our writing contests have something for everyone. Winning pieces in select categories are eligible for publication in the next Utah's Best Poetry and Prose anthology. Every entry, winning or not, gets judging feedback from writing and publishing professionals.
