Hi All,Are you an aspiring author? Do you like to write? Do you want to write your memoirs or poetry or short stories? Or do you just like to write just for the sake of writing and for the love of words?
If so, you are in luck.
This blog entry is for you then!
Click on this link - which got me thinking about writers and writing - from the Brooklyn Public Library which talks about the BPL's new on-demand book printing machine. Very cool stuff! and you'd get to print out copies of your book.
Now, I suspect that you don't realize how many resources we have at the library to help aspiring writers write. Click on this link from our card catalog. I did a title search using the term 'writing'. I then narrowed down the search to find material that is only found in the Farmingdale Public Library. Look at all these amazing results for all current and future writers! Great material for, well, your material. (Cute, eh?)
But wait, there's more (as they say on the infomercials you see on television late at night)...
Amazon.com has their own self-publishing page - you can view the information by clicking on this link. Be sure to read all the information regarding this process - it might seem a bit clunky, but you'll be doing yourself a service by reading before printing.
If you go to the website SelfPublishing.com (Helping Authors Become Publishers) you'll learn all about self publishing. Neat site - good information - and timely.
So there you have it. Some resources that can immediately start you on your way to being a published author!
Good luck - and if you are a Farmingdale resident, we'd love to have a copy of your book in our collection!
Regards,
Stu
