What resources are there to help me choose my author for the JLP?

November 1, 2013 · by Dear Librarian · in Our Dear Internet, Our Dear Resources

The most important part of choosing your author for the JLP is making sure you feel you can be fully committed to this writer. You will be reading anywhere from 3-6 pieces from this author, so it is important that you resonate with his or her style of writing. Take your time, be thoughtful, and investigate your author before choosing. (Plus be aware that the you must feel good about the 3-5 that you submit; you might not get your first choice!)
