About the Book

Did you always want to write a Leanpub book but didn’t want to mess around with a text editor and a myriad of small files?

Did you start writing a Leanpub book in a text editor and then found out how hard it is to keep track of anchors whenever you want to cross-reference a part? How much work it is to rearrange sections and chapters? How hard it is to manually number and renumber figures?

Did you always wish that Leanpub would auto-number appendices and insert a table of figures into your book?

If you answered affirmatively to one of these questions, then this book is for you.

This is a book about writing a Leanpub book with a wonderful editor Scrivener. 

This book is free, as is the tooling that connects Scrivener with Leanpub! So go ahead - write a next bestseller!

The Leanpub 60 Day 100% Happiness Guarantee

Within 60 days of purchase you can get a 100% refund on any Leanpub purchase, in two clicks.

Now, this is technically risky for us, since you'll have the book or course files either way. But we're so confident in our products and services, and in our authors and readers, that we're happy to offer a full money back guarantee for everything we sell.

You can only find out how good something is by trying it, and because of our 100% money back guarantee there's literally no risk to do so!

So, there's no reason not to click the Add to Cart button, is there?

See full terms...

Earn $8 on a $10 Purchase, and $16 on a $20 Purchase

We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.

(Yes, some authors have already earned much more than that on Leanpub.)

In fact, authors have earned over $14 million writing, publishing and selling on Leanpub.
