  <p>You select the author correctly with and assign it to the <code>myEntry</code> variable:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% set myEntry = entry.authorTeamMember.first() %}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now you just need to output the data from <code>myEntry</code> instead of <code>entry</code>.  i.e.</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% if entry.authorTeamMember|length %} 
      {% set myEntry = entry.authorTeamMember.first() %}
  
      {{ myEntry.authorName }}

  {% else %}
      &lt;p&gt;No Author&lt;/p&gt;
  {% endif %}
  </code></pre>

Answers.Text: So working with it, it will pull the first entry in the authorTeamMember channel perfectly but wont recognize other authors if the code is in a loop pulling other entries for other authors. I am thinking it has to do with the .first() tag when I am setting  the variable myEntry.  Is there a way in the set tag to set entry.authorTeamMember to whatever option a is selected per article?

  How would you go about pulling a selected entry from one channel into another entry using Craft variables?
  
  For example, I have a page with an author channel field that allows a user to select the author from entries in an author channel. Once selected, I am wanting the page to display the author content from the selected Author entry.
  
  I have tried using the following but have gotten no output.
  
  ```
  {% if entry.authorTeamMember|length %} 
      {% set myEntry = entry.authorTeamMember.first() %}
  
      {{entry.authorName}}
      {{entry.authorDescription}}
  {% else %}
      <p>No Author</p>
  {% endif %}

  So I had to adjust Brads code slightly and tweak it to get what I wanted.
  
  Issue: I was getting some entrys but not all the entrys I wanted when I was pulling a list as one of my entryfields for my page was a channel.
  
  When I was pulling the information for my authorName from myEntry, myEntry was assigned to the channel field and would only pick up and register the first author entry i created. I had to change `{{ myEntry.AuthorName }}` to `{{ myEntry.Title }}` as the channel entry for each author had a title field.
  
  ```
  {% if entry.authorTeamMember|length %} 
      {% set myEntry = entry.authorTeamMember.first() %}
  
      {{ myEntry.Title }}
      {{ myEntry.authorDescription }}
  {% else %}
      <p>No Author</p>
  {% endif %}
  
  ```

  You select the author correctly with and assign it to the `myEntry` variable:
  
  ```
  {% set myEntry = entry.authorTeamMember.first() %}
  
  ```
  
  Now you just need to output the data from `myEntry` instead of `entry`. i.e.
  
  ```
  {% if entry.authorTeamMember|length %} 
      {% set myEntry = entry.authorTeamMember.first() %}
  
      {{ myEntry.authorName }}
      {{ myEntry.authorDescription }}
  {% else %}
      <p>No Author</p>
  {% endif %}
  
  ```
