Bookmark our form (<a href="https://www.olaoregonauthors.org/submit-an-author.html">https://www.olaoregonauthors.org/submit-an-author.html</a>) </div><div>2. Include the book title, author's name, and ISBN. Their Oregon connection would be great to include too. </div><div><br></div><div>This is the minimum needed to track down more info about an author.
