Wednesday, Oct. 19 at 5:30 p.m. — BRANDON — The Brandon Free Public Library is launching the Brandon Publishing Club (BPC). The BPC will offer programming to help people create and self-publish their own books. In partnership with local artists and educators John Brodowski and Ethan Nelson, the library will offer a series of events to teach and guide people through the process of conceptualizing, creating, formatting, and self-publishing. The library is planning the creation of a self-publishing station and aim to include all the resources and technology one would need to create and complete a literary work.
Organizers at the Brandon Free Public Library are certain that the community will have a lot to say. The town of Brandon is bursting with greater-than-its-share of creative talent and energy. The library imagines teens writing, drawing, and creating their own comics and zines and imagines folks with a notion to create memoirs, a novella, a children’s book, or a batch of poems who have been looking for an opportunity. This is your chance!
Brandon set to launch publishing club.
The library and new club are seeking feedback from–people of all ages and backgrounds about what services, information, and resources they would like to see included. What book ideas and projects do you have in mind? What workshops and content do you need to get started? How can the club as an artist/library team, reach you to get some excellent outcomes? Stop by Brandon Free Public Library, call 802-247-8230, or email us at info@brandonpubliclibrary.org. There is also have an interest form available on the library website.
The first BPC meeting will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 19 on the first floor of the Brandon Public Library.
