for all interested, many ppl pointed to Adobe’s InDesign 🥲 as the best tool for book organization / sequencing

I used indesign - it wasn’t perfect but worked. I really wish there was a plug-in for the text so I could edit it as the layout came together. For the actual writing I’ve come to love Scrivener. It’s an app preferred by writers/ screenwriters and has a one time fee of $90

You can embed a DOC/TXT/RTF file into indesign so the text flows between multiple text boxes and pages etc. Then when you update the doc, indesign updates as well

thank you for the guidance!!! i hope to explore this tech stack soon. more updates in the future 🥴

There isn’t anything better than InDesign out there. Affinity Publisher is cheaper but it lacks the resources/community support to do all the things (just checked and it can epub)If you end up doing PDF I have a free guide for Accessibility in PDFs.

Ah good to know. thank you Caspian. i’ll keep this in mind when i get to the formatting phase

What kind of ebook? Like one for kindle or photo books like blurb?

Frank Chimero’s book shapeofdesignbook.com as a web experience but the content has similar vibes to Orion Carloto’s Film for her Film for Her a.co/d/fNMUGsK

I don’t but I’m curious too

I haven’t done this since epub came out (many years ago) but expect things are easier/more automated with fewer hoops to jump through.

gold standard definitely indesign. i know plenty of people who do this kind of work if you need to tap someone in
