I think the only question I've ever had has been workflow related. Being a self-published author, I sometimes struggle with how to create all the different formats effectively. I still haven't figured out a good way to streamline adding iBooks to my book formats for example.
I have noticed that publishers tend to contact authors directly. But then again, perhaps they just don't know about this list. I don't see anything wrong with trying a monthly tweet as Steve has suggested though. If no one's interested, then this list will fade on its own. - Mike ----------------- Mike Driscoll Blog: http://blog.pythonlibrary.org Books: Python 101 <https://gum.co/py101>, Python 201: Intermediate Python <https://gum.co/py201> On Sun, Oct 9, 2016 at 5:04 AM, Steve Holden <[email protected]> wrote: > Remembering my own experiences, I never thought to research whether there > were any Python author resources before I started writing "Python Web > Programming" all those years ago.
