#WCC #WritersCoffeeClub 4. Share a tool of your trade.

Am aspiring indie writer, and escaped techbro, who brought back a very simple but useful piece of tech:

Markdown.

It's a plain text format, with minimal markup for things like chapter headings and italics. I write my books in it, and also keep my notes in it.

I use Pandoc software to render the Markdown as ebook EPUB and paperback PDF.

I had to write a little code to get Pandoc to do exactly what I wanted. The defaults are opinionated.

Just got paid for my first ever print book sale, in October.

It's a smutty friends-to-lovers romance about roommates. So if every roommate buys a copy for their roommate, as a 'joke' Christmas gift, the royalties will add up.

#BookWyrm seems to be so non-corporate, that I couldn't add a link to Amazon in the official "how to get it" place of the book page. I love it.

I added the link to the text description of the book, until the Kindle exclusive lock-in period ends.

My little story that pokes fun at billionaires got removed from Amazon searches.

Last chance to read it on Kindle Unlimited, before I end the Kindle exclusives for the Audrey series.

Last chance to try the Problematic Audrey series for free on Kindle Unlimited.

Book 2 got "dungeoned" (because it mocked billionaires?), so I'm ending the Kindle exclusive for the series.

After December, no more KU, but the books will continue to be available for purchase on Kindle and in paperback, and I'll be adding at least one more venue. (Kobo? B&N? Smashwords?)

"A heartwarming novella so delightful, you'll proudly write your first Amazon review of an incredibly smutty book."

"This unassuming book inspired me to find love in the city, as soon as I read every page in KU."

"The paperback makes a great Christmas gift for your roommate."
