I've written novels with LyX (see www.18james.com/writing.html). The book class does fine. The real problem is that unless you're self-publishing -- with which I have no experience -- you have to face the fact that trade publishers are not interested in any output from LyX. They want the manuscript in ms-word, not in LaTeX, LyX, PDF, or Postscript. They'll accept ascii text, but if you have foreign language or special characters in your text, they're lost in an ascii version. I can't stand PC word-processors, so I stick with LyX. But the beautiful typesetting ability of the LaTeX engine is lost, as I end submitting hard-copy. -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com
