Writers Corner: Create – Share – Discover
Welcome to the Writers Corner, where you will fund support for local authors. The library supports two meetings per month. You can find more information here.
Here are some ways writers can publish, format and discover indie books, and learn new writing techniques and skills.
Format Your eBook
Interested in getting your novel, memoir, poetry collection, children’s book and more in eBook and print-ready formats? Pressbooks Public is an easy-to-use online tool that allows you to create professional quality versions of your book in ePUB, MOBI, PDF and more—all through your library.
Indie Author Project
Authors submit books to the Indie Author Project (IAP) and share their book with readers in Missouri. If selected as an IAP Select title, your book could reach readers across the U.S. and Canada—and you’ll have the chance to opt into our Commercial Collections, which include royalty opportunities.
More information on the Indie Author project here.
Please note: Authors submitting to the Indie Author Project give the Indie Author Project a non-exclusive license to make their ebook available to public library patrons via subscribing institutions in the public library market. Participation in the Indie Author Project does not restrict authors and their publishing service providers/future publishers in any manner from promoting and selling their ebooks to any market. Authors also reserve all intellectual and proprietary rights in the work— the Indie Author Project does not infringe upon that.
