I wrote a book in Scrivener - loved it, but when it came to prepping it for print and various ebook formats - what a total nightmare, I couldn’t get anything to distill how I needed - really needs basic functioning templates for print and Amazon KDP etc. I want to write books not get tangled up in the tech.
- ramg 4y agoI published my book via Scrivener - both print and ebook. I'll admit it wasn't straightforward but once I "learned" it, I saved that away as a template for my next book. There's a fair bit of customization and not very obvious how it works. I relied on the forums for hints/tips and even then it took some trial/error attempts. I'd say in total, I spent a full weekend figuring it out. I wonder how much of that memory is now lost and will need to be relearned when I publish my second book (template and all).
- medion 4y agoThis has triggered a memory, whereby I had spent probably a similar amount of time getting a custom template done - then, by the time my book was finished, there was an upgrade and the template vanished/became unusable - and then the whole templating system seemed to have changed dramatically, and I didn’t have the energy to burn another 2-3 days re-learning it all… Anyway.
