Hi Alex

I currently writing books too and saw your book is high quality
why not submit to one of the big publications? I'm sure the editor will love you so much
and came across your blog what program your use for write Asciidoc?

I already know markdown it's give me enjoy writing experience but will do some serious project like the book it's taking me to hurt a lot also when over hundred-page markdown will cut image because they no provide a page break

my book currently over two hundred pages live Google docs, fortunately, someone builds an extension for handle syntax highlight

and for marketing part is long run we need to handle full-stack
I thought the book is part of the big picture for making a six-figure income
when a visitor comes to our site generate money instantly from some PPV ads next will chance to make a sale on affiliate or buy book subscribe to saas as long as our site has growth also will increase the authority we can sell guest post or backlink
six

also, thank again for introducing to Asciidoc

Good question Kris,

I guess I never thought about approaching a publication but that may be in the cards for the future. I am glad that you are a fan of Asciidoc, it really is a nice tool. Congratulations on your book as well!

I write my book using VS Code and, from time to time, asciidocfx.com/. I use antora.org/ to generate a static book website and asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoctor-pdf/ to generate the pdf. asciidocfx.com/ is used to generate the epub version.

Good luck on finishing and publishing the book!
If you have any other questions or concerns please do let me know.

Thanks,
Alex
