In this interactive four-hour self-publishing workshop, participants will move beyond the basics to create a personalized roadmap for writing, publishing, and marketing their book.

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.

This workshop will take place in the Riley meeting room at Central Library.

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.
