Libraries helping authors with e-publishing

HENDERSON, Ky. (AP) — A partnership between the Henderson County Public Library and the Daviess County Public Library is aiming to help new writers find a market with electronic publishing.

Library officials say the effort will also help published writers sell more books.

Interested authors can access a website — epublishorbust.com — and do the publishing themselves.

Henderson library Director Essy Day tells The Gleaner (http://bit.ly/1BZ5r5l ) that the library will provide the resources to help authors and give them a chance to book a date at the library to promote their work.

Day says Bowling Green would probably be the next participating library system in the new e-publishing network.

Organizers say the goal is to create a circuit of libraries where authors can promote their books and give other authors feedback.
