Greetings ... I am working on a project where I will have several people creating content within the same channel.

I would then like to display a template and just display entries from one of the authors.

What would the url look like for that? Is there a recommended way of doing this?

I am familiar with the author_id field of an entry, but will I need to pass that to the
template somehow so the channel returns the proper entry?

Thanks
Steve

{exp:channel:entries channel="posts" author_id="CURRENT_USER"}
{your fields}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Actually, sorry I misread your question.

You basically want a display of:

Author
- Entry
- Entry

Author 1
- Entry
- Entry

Ect?

Actually, I want url1 = Author, url2 = Author2, etc. The link between author_id and url will have to be hard coded I am thinking. I think what I am looking for is a parameter passed from the url to the template(s).
