Mid-September 2019
Have you ever been given a gift and not realized its true value?
I knew that I was incredibly lucky when Fifth Avenue Press, the imprint of our local library, selected my first book to be a part of their second book release. They provided me with everything! The services included editing, proofreading, formatting, cover design and to top everything off, an amazing launch party to introduce the book to the world. It was an unforgettable experience. Then, just a few months later, they did the same thing again for my second book.
At both launch parties, more than one author expressed what I was feeling, that Fifth Avenue Press had made a lifelong dream come true. I know that I said thank you to them at the time, but it wasn’t until I began moving forward on my own with my third novel that I began to really appreciate what I had been given. The individual costs for all of those services that they provided represent thousands and thousands of dollars. What a gift indeed!
So for all of you Ann Arborites with a novel, short story collections, non-fiction work or children’s book languishing in your computer, check out Fifth Avenue Press through the Ann Arbor District Library. Perhaps your dream will be made a reality too.
