Syn kazał mi publikować w określone dni tygodnia — bogowie, jaki on jest systematyczny. To nie może być moje dziecko — chyba go w szpitalu podmienili. Chociaż nie, chyba miałam go cały czas przy sobie... Hmmm.
To pierwsza część nowego opowiadania. Tego ze śwungu na sci-fi.

#Bücher #Selfpublishing
@bookstodon [a.gup.pe]

Seit meinem letzten Buch vor zwei Jahren habe ich nichts Eigenes geschrieben. Beim Durchgehen verschiedener Neuerscheinungen zur Typografie hatte ich eine Idee: Wie wäre es mit einem Buch "Typografie für Anfänger" mit LibreOffice ?

Die Anleitungsbücher sind für InDesign (Adobe) oder QuarkExpress. Beide sind von amerikanischen Firmen und Adobe außerdem teuer.

Das Buch würde vereinen, was ich kann: Lehren und Bücher machen.

Was ist eure Meinung dazu?

Weil es gerade an anderer Stelle aufkam:
Ich habe einen gratis Ratgeber zum Thema #Selfpublishing erstellt, den könnt ihr hier gratis als PDF (mit 74 Seiten) herunterladen:

Den Ratgeber habe ich 2019 zuletzt überarbeitet. Es ist also möglich, dass einiges veraltet ist, aber das Meiste ist weiterhin aktuell.

I really wish I'd asked this question sooner. Our first book came out in August 2023 and our second in November 2024. I don't know if we are the first authors to mistakenly believe that all of our readers rush out on day one and buy our books, then read them over the course of three nights, but this poll has taken us a bit by surprise.

I’m on my way home from the release party of my bok book Game Development in Rust with Macroquad. It was great, my colleague had prepared a few interview questions, and I signed a bunch of books. It’s too late to open up the online purchases, but I’ll do that tomorrow. I appreciate my company Agical that sponsored the printing and the party.

What will come after book bans? Well, you won't need your professional phantasy for several scenarios.

Fellow authors around the world, maybe you should think of switching from Google Drives, MS One Drives, iCloud etc. and, especially, keep your manuscripts and other important documents safe on an external harddrive or/and a USB-stick. Don't get me wrong. I also hope, we all won't need the backups. I really do. #author #books #WritingCommunity #SelfPublishing #Writing #censorship #bookban
