It’s no April Fool’s Joke, authors are thriving in the Buckeye State. In her insightful article, “Children’s Authors Thriving in the Buckeye State (And Four You Didn’t Know Were From Ohio),” Caitlin Evans sheds light on Ohio’s significant role in the children’s literature landscape. Despite the bustling global publishing industry, which saw a remarkable $129 billion in revenue in 2022, with over a third attributed to children’s books, the spotlight often eludes this genre. However, Ohio stands out as a hub of creativity and innovation in this field. Caitlin, a graduate of the English Master’s program at the University of Pennsylvania, brings her expertise to the forefront for MIDSToRY, a non-profit thinkhub, as she explores the thriving community of children’s authors within the Buckeye State. Her conversation with Kimberly Jarvis, Kathryn Powers, and Will Hillenbrand during the winter adds a personal touch to her comprehensive coverage, promising readers an engaging journey through the diverse and impactful world of Ohioan children’s literature.
