For all #AmWriting #SelfPublishers out there looking for a simple workflow, I just pushed a new version of Chapisha, my Python package that converts `.docx` to standards-compliant `.epub`.

https://chapisha.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

There's an online version as well: https://qwyre.com/write/describe but I won't be updating that just yet. Instead, I'm going to rebuild Qwyre to support ActivityPub for federated self-publishing.

I have a steep learning curve ahead, & I'll update in this thread.

If you're an #author who is considering self-recording your novel as an #audiobook, make sure to read this linked toot and watch the embedded video.

They're VERY informational about the process of recording and why you get your money's worth if you pay a (human) professional.

Maybe you already have a nice recording space & equipment in your home/apartment, AND also have the skills for recording your own book-- or maybe you don't. Maybe you need to budget the funds to pay a professional #narrator-- or maybe you don't.

This will help you make an informed decision.

Technical question for anyone using #kdp for self publishing. For a fantasy novel 177k words, I've currently set a trim size of 6" X 9". I'm starting to think that may be too large - would 5.5" X 8.5" or 5.25" X 8" be better?

I know this isn't a writing server but I thought I would just ask. You people seem nice. 😘

#WritingCommunity is there any fellow #SelfPublishers out there, especially in the #Fantasy genre?

I’ve always wanted to organise a group of us so we can talk shop, give each other tips, and take over the world…I mean help each other out.
