On local radio today I learned that November 1st is National Author’s Day, https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/authors-day/. I must confess to not having heard of this celebration until early this morning and being intrigued did a little digging which turned up the above link.
From the above, it appears that Author’s Day is an American celebration (it was certainly started in the USA). However given that it was mentioned on a (UK) local radio station, this celebration would appear to have crossed the Atlantic.
I would be interested to know whether any of my readers has any additional information regarding Author’s Day?

No, I haven’t heard of it; a bit like World Book Day and National Book Day which seem to come round at monthly intervals!
Thanks. I know what you mean as regards these days which always seem to be popping up! Best – Kevin
I have to confess, the first I knew it was author’s day today was when I saw it in the list of trending topics on Twitter.
Thanks for your comment, Tori. Yes it doesn’t seem to very publicised, at least here in the UK. Strangely I heard of Author’s Day on a London-based local pop music radio station.
