Attendees will learn how to refine their book idea, identify their target audience, develop a realistic writing plan, understand professional publishing standards, and navigate key publishing decisions such as ISBNs, copyright, formatting, and distribution. The workshop also includes hands-on exercises and practical tools to help participants leave with actionable next steps and greater confidence in their journey from manuscript to published book.

About the branch

Established as the Broadway Branch in 1924, the library served the neighborhood from a frame house on E. 42nd Street until 1958 when a 6,500-square-foot facility opened on Broadway Street. This aging and overcrowded building was replaced in August 2000 with the current 16,000-square-foot structure on College Avenue that was renamed the College Avenue Branch.
