BPL Writer-in-Residence Grace Ellis wraps up her residency with a workshop that gives a practical, honest overview of what it takes to go from “I have an idea” to “I’m holding my book in my hands.”
How Do I Get My Book Published?: The Workshop
A practical, honest overview of what it takes to go from “I have an idea” to “I’m holding my book in my hands.” We'll walk through every step of the journey, including how to pitch to agents, how traditional publishing compares to self-publishing, and what it’s really like working with editors and publicists. This workshop is great for writers at any stage, whether you’re just starting out or deep into a draft. Includes a robust Q&A.
About the 2026 BPL Writer-in-Residence:
Grace Ellis is a New York Times–bestselling, award-winning writer of graphic novels, plays, prose, and animation. She’s best known as the co-creator of the comics Lumberjanes, Moonstruck, and Flung Out of Space, along with her extensive work for DC Comics. Her writing is noted for its humor, heart, and character-driven storytelling.
Outside of publishing, Grace is an active member of the Columbus arts community. She founded and curates Columbus Stage Times, a comprehensive weekly calendar spotlighting more than 150 Central Ohio theater companies, and she serves on the education board of Cartoon Crossroads Columbus.
Grace loves helping writers discover their creative voice across any medium, genre or ability level. She has a particular passion for demystifying storytelling and helping writers (i.e. you) feel confident on the page. When she's not writing, she can be found watching women's hockey or going for a lil walk.
The 2026 BPL Writer-in-Residence program is made possible in part by an investment of public funds from the Ohio Arts Council (OAC). The OAC is a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally, and economically.
Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.
The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
