One of the many hats I wear is that of book formatter. As an indie author/press, it made sense to do it for myself, and now I do it for other folks too. :)

Need a re-release formatted? Have a new book you want to self-publish, but just don't quite know how to prep your book files? We use Vellum for the Mac, and do formatting for ePub (all formats) and pdf/print.

makes prepping and publishing beautifully-formatted ebooks and paperbacks a joy.

One of my top “apps for writers“ purchases ever.

Anyone interested in seeing how I made this burning cloth setup? I got the idea from a WetaFX talk at SIGGRAPH, and wanted to give it a shot. It's not the most amazing setup ever, but I think the concepts you could use were fun to figure out. If you're interested let me know, and I'll show it this Wednesday on the stream.

Learned a *lot* while updating and revising two of my books for their 10th anniversary versions! made it much easier to create beautiful and paperback editions. Everything's on Unlimited now, paperbacks have been repriced to cost less, and I've got smarter keywords in the search system. And I’m 😍 over the new covers for the series. Have a peek!

Dusting off my old books on on Amazon.com, preparing expanded and updated second editions with new and better covers, re-writing portions of those books for their 10th anniversary editions, making them part of a series, planning new books in the series, and learning how to use at the same time.

Oh — and the internal graphics all needed to be recreated from scratch to have higher resolution.

And, yes, I’m actually enjoying this.

@apolaine For me, there’s very little that’s difficult about self-publishing. outputs to , which outputs to Amazon (and other services). I’m lucky to have some graphic design background, so covers haven’t been a hurdle for me. (Though laziness can be.) Good editors can be hired.

The difficulty for me is in the marketing: doing smart things consistently to help people discover the work. (Though even with inconsistent marketing, my self-published non-fiction has done pretty well.)
