What Sources Did I Use to Find My Kentucky Authors?

​

I used both printed and on-line sources to help build the list of my Kentucky authors.

​

The vast bulk of my Kentucky authors came from two aging printed sources:

​

The Guide: A Bibliography and Collector’s Guide of Kentucky Authors and Their Books by Larry L. Arnett (2005, Kentucke Publishing Company)

​

The Anthology: The Kentucky Anthology: Two Hundred Years of Writing in the Bluegrass State by Wade Hall (2005, The University Press of Kentucky) 

​

There has not been an update or replacement to either of these wonderful resources since 2005.

On-Line Sources

​

I completed and update my list of Kentucky authors from on-line sources.  There are several websites about Kentucky authors on the internet.  

 

These are the on-line sources I used to find My Kentucky Authors (in no particular order).
