Thank you.  I have one self-published author coming already and am open to more.  I will try your suggestion.

What about using local authors who may be self-published?  It's possible some may participate in a literature festival for free just to get the exposure.  You could throw it out on Twitter or Facebook an see what you get.  My Lockport community has a Lockport FB page, so maybe New Lenox has something like that where you could toss the idea out to the community and see if anyone will share that info.

I do know of one self-published author who is a teacher in Lemont.  Let me know privately if you's like his name.

Does anyone have suggestions for local authors in the Chicago area who are free or charge under $200.00?  We are having a literature festival in April.  I have Adam Selzer for one day and two authors scheduled the second day, but I still need to fill in a few more hours.  I have checked SCBWI.  Thanks.
