A Day of Authors Prominent authors gather to discuss their books and the process of writing at CSUF as an annual fundraiser for ALPHA - a philanthropic organization.

For over twenty eight years literary authors and illustrators speak to over 500 book-lovers at Cal State Fullerton at “A Day of Authors”, stimulating audiences and other authors alike. A continental breakfast is served as well as lunch. A basket raffle full of great prizes is available for those wanting to take part. The authors often discuss the process, method, inspiration, and joy of writing, a

long with their characters. Proceeds from this fundraising event benefit the following community groups: St. Jude Medical Center's "Healthy Beginnings" with our Tiny Togs Program, providing needed layettes and diapers to needy newborns; Operation School Bell (a national program) providing clothes, backpacks and books for school children; Santa's Closet, which supplies grocery store gift cards to low income families with children for the holidays, Tara's Chance (A Fullerton based equine therapy program for children with special needs) and many others. For a full list of authors, event schedule and registration information, please visit our website: adayofauthors.com . Register soon! This event always fills up fast! We are back to a live event. Our next event for A Day of Authors is April 22, 2023!

Come hear Holly Goldberg Sloan speak about her heartwarming book, FINDING LOST about a grieving family, particularly middle schooler Cordy, who finds healing and hope through adopting a stray dog named Lost after her father's death. Set in a small coastal Oregon town, the story follows Cordy as she tries to keep her family from moving away, but the stray dog's arrival and the kindness of their community help them navigate their grief and accept that change can bring unexpected joy.
Holly is not only an award-winning author, but she was the first woman to direct a live action film for Disney when she both wrote and directed the soccer film The Big Green (1995). Sloan followed this up when she wrote and directed the independent film The Secret Life of Girls.
