<div dir="ltr">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.

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

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">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. </p>
