Books have a remarkable ability to transport us to different worlds and connect us with unforgettable stories. From fantasy novels to timeless classics, the impact of the stories we read often lasts long after we finish a book. National Author’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate those who create these narratives and add new titles to our reading lists. Discover Amazon’s bestsellers and clever reading accessories to enhance your experience.

What is National Author’s Day?

National Author’s Day is observed annually on November 1, honoring the writers who craft our cherished books and characters. Initiated by teacher Nellie Verne Burt McPherson in 1928, the day recognizes literary contributions and was officially acknowledged by the U.S. Department of Commerce in 1949.

There are many ways to celebrate. You might purchase a book from a beloved author, revisit a cherished novel, write a note of appreciation to an author, or visit an independent bookstore. November 1 also marks the beginning of National Novel Writing Month, a challenge to write a 50,000-word novel by the end of November.
