The League of Utah Writers (LUW) recently announced the Utah authors taking part in the fifth annual Utah Authors Day (UAD) event on Dec. 6, 2025. Award-winning science fiction and fantasy author W.D. Kilpack III of West Jordan is among a hundred-plus Utah authors taking part at bookstores and libraries throughout the state. Kilpack will be appearing at Pioneer Book in Provo (450 W Center St.) from 3 a.m.–5 p.m. to meet and talk with readers, discuss future plans, and sign copies of his books that the readers purchase on site or bring with them. He will be among several Utah authors appearing there throughout the day.
Kilpack said, “I am very pleased to be included in Utah Authors Day again this year! Being selected feels like winning an award for the hard work and late nights writing, doing research, and working on cover art. I really look forward to being part of the same kind of great experience that it was last year!”
UAD was revived in 2021 in collaboration between Utah Humanities, Gov. Spencer Cox, and LUW after its initial creation in the 1970s by LUW with Gov. Cal Rampton and Gov. Scott Matheson. The revival has been very successful, growing from just two locations that first year to dozens of bookstores and libraries across the State of Utah and more than a hundred Utah authors in 2024.
