Wrote a book (non-technical). A very interesting experience indeed. I used LeanPub for the content and then CreateSpace for the deadtree version.


Super cool! Would love to hear more about your self-publishing experience -- mind if I shoot you an email?


Sorry for the delay. I generally abstain from HN over the weekends.

Feel free to email me, there are several addresses in my profile entry. I reply fastest to the GMail one.

I really should blog about my experience of writing a book. Some parts were easier than I expected, while others were about as hard as I expected. All together, I think with the facilities available through services like LeanPub and CreateSpace, it was easier and smoother than I initially expected.


Sorry for the second reply, but I have written a blog entry on my book writing experience. It ended up larger than I expected, yet still doesn't exhaust all that I would want to say, so more may follow.
