This workshop can help authors to craft a marketing plan to best position their book in front of their target audience.

Join us for this workshop that teaches authors and aspiring authors to design and implement a complete marketing plan that positions their book in front of their target audience through creative and strategic methods. This lesson includes pre-launch and post-launch activities such as forming a Street Team, creating buzz-worthy social media campaigns, writing press releases, and more.

And check out other writing workshops at library branches this fall, including another session from Michelle P. Jones about self-editing and professional editing at Garfield Park Branch.

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.
