The Langum Project For Historical Literature Prize Winners Ceremony (March) David J. Langum, Sr. founded the Langum Project for Historical Literature in 2001 out of a conviction that far too many historians today write only for each other, and that there is a need to make the rich history of America, in both her colonial and national periods, accessible to the educated general public. It seeks to encourage this sort of writing by awarding two annual prizes of $1,000 apiece for the best books published by university or small presses in the category of American historical fiction ("both excellent fiction and excellent history that to some extent delineates between the two") and in the category of American legal history or legally related biography ("rooted in sound scholarship, accessible to the education general reader, and with themes that touch upon matters of general concern to the American public, past or present").
Local Authors Expo is sponsored by the Friends of the Birmingham Public Library and provides an opportunity for local authors to sell and autograph their books. Included will be both adult and juvenile fiction and nonfiction titles.
