November 1 Authors’ Day

November 1 Authors’ Day

Today day is November 1 Authors’ Day people celebrate every year. After her grandmother’s death in 1968, Sue Cole promoted the observance of Authors Day. She urged people to write a note to their favorite author on November 1, to “brighten up the sometimes lonely business of being a writer.”
In 1928, Nellie Verne Burt McPherson, president of the Bement, Illinois Women’s Club had also an idea of setting aside a day to celebrate American authors.
The United States Department of Commerce recognized this day in 1949. On this day thank your favorite authors for writing your favorite books.
