Directory of Authors Resources

Home > Arts > Literature > Genres > Western > Authors

Note on Author/Genre classification for Author categories: 1. Classify authors by genre when possible. 2. If an author writes in more than one genre and there's been overlaps in the past (Anne Rice, for instance), centralize the categories in the alpha bar. If you're creating an Author category or adding sites, please do a search first and make sure the Author isn't already listed somewhere else. Updated by jschwart on 8/1/00.
