In partnership with the Indiana Writers Center, we bring you How to Self Publish! This class is designed to help authors navigate the self-publishing world and learn the ins and outs/pro and cons of being an Independent Author.

This one hour workshop is designed to help authors navigate the Self-Publishing world and learn the ins and outs/pros and cons of being an Independent Author! 

Self-publishing can be one of the most exciting things an author can do with their work, but it can also be one of the most frustrating. Knowing the basics of what’s required and expected, can ease the amount of frustration, and increase the amount of excitement for authors new to self-publishing.

This workshop is being offered in partnership with the Indiana Writers Center (IWC). The IWC supports Indiana writers of all ages and backgrounds and reaches out to people whose voices are rarely heard.

Learn more about the Meet an Author, Be an Author event that will take place on October 18 at Central Library. The day will include workshops, the Local Author Book Fair, and opportunities to network throughout the day!

And to get prepped, here is a book list full of novels about writing and publishing: Books about Writers and the Publishing Industry.

About the branch

As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
