Self-Publishing

Pressbooks is an easy-to-use online software that allows you to create professional-quality e-book and print ready files in ePUB, MOBI, and PDF formats.

Indie Author Project is a self-publishing program where local indie authors can share and publish their e-book through the Library. The newly added Indie Author Project Expert Sessions are a monthly webinar series for experienced, beginning, or soon-to-be authors of any genre, at any stage in the writing process.

Featuring indie authors and industry professionals, IAP Expert Sessions offer compelling content covering a wide range of writing topics, including marketing, the writing process, indie publishing, editing, and more. Visit this page for up-to-date news on upcoming Expert Sessions or view the archive for past sessions.
