This is a place where we can ask questions and share tips. We may also have a group request for a particular solution, where we could share development costs. Who knows where this will lead!

We are working to align the publication dates of our print edition and e-editions more closely. At present, our physical books still arrive about a month before the electronic editions are available.

Quite a few of our processes are being adjusted to make things work, and my piece of the puzzle is how to create metadata that…[Read more]

Things are off to a good start on Bluesky and the starter packs really help.

We have seen this issue on Amazon.ca in relation to our edited collections and it makes everyone unhappy. We brought up the issue a number of times in meetings with Amazon representatives and nothing changed.

Our response was to eliminate dozens of contributor names from our metadata (contributors, foreword and afterword writers) so…[Read more]
