Read All About It

RI is full of talented authors, and it’s no wonder why — we have plenty to inspire us. Support local talent by gifting that bookworm in your life a tome by a local author. Below are a few suggestions, but if none of these fit the bill, seek out the many published authors among What Cheer Writers Club members, or check out the Association of Rhode Island Authors (ARIA), which is made up of published local wordsmiths (their annual expo at Rhode on the Pawtuxet in Cranston takes place on Dec 7).
