But the truth is, like the rest of our body, our lungs need daily care and attention. Presented by Dr. Steven Herman, Mountainside Medical Center Lung Program.

The Book Doctors: Editors Show Writers How to Get Successfully Published

WRITERS ALERT! Pick the brain of professional editors from the hot new publishing book: What Editors Do: The Art, Craft, and Business of Book Editing. Editors describe, in nuts and bolts details, what writers can do to help themselves get successfully published. From insider editing tricks of the trade, to working with an editor successfully, to navigating the stormy seas of publishing, this event will entertain and edify.

About the presenters:

Our May meeting will happen just a few hours shy of May! MPL is celebrating Cheaper By The Dozen, a popular book written in 1948 by Montclair residents Frank B. Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey with events in April-May. Our Open Book Club will discuss this American family’s life and the cultural similarities and differences from the fictional Latino families we have been reading this year. We have free copies of the book to give to Club members. Please register below and pick up the book at the 3rd floor administration office.
