It is partially funded thanks to a grant from Ameren Illinois. Writers who bring the Prairie State to life are invited. Illinois Authors builds on our initiative Illinois 101, in which more than 20 prominent Illinoisans recommended histories, biographies, novels, or essays to provide a more nuanced understanding of our state. The recommendations were published as our Illinois 101 booklet.
