Jeremy, thanks for this book. I bought it today and it’s fantastic. I struggled with mathematics earlier in my career and being able to understand it through coding is immensely helpful.

As far as self-publishing goes, let’s take inventory of the tasks the author had to do to get this book out the door:

  - editing himself 3x over
  - building out a latex template
  - graphic design for the cover and the website
  - “struggled” to find someone to review each chapter
  - build a mailing list of 2,000 people
  - make a website
  - lost steam / hit a wall, as is natural when working mostly alone
  - customer service

He could have gone with a traditional publisher to help some of these things, but then he’d get 15% (!) royalties, write in Word (ew), and still have to do most of the marketing.

I’ve written/produced about 6 self-published books (Fullstack React, ng-book, etc.) and I’ve got a system down for semi-self publishing books that deals with all of the above issues.

We’ll help you:

  - research and outline the book 
  - write the book in markdown or latex, using git, plus our custom tools for importing code (which are way better than copy and paste)
  - deal with the marketing / cover / branding / graphic design
  - review / edit the book and recruit beta readers
  - market the book to our (active) email audience of 100,000+ programmers
  - deal with customer service
  - for 50/50 royalties

Basically we’ll make sure your book is good, it gets finished, and people buy it when it’s done.

(The author of Fullstack Vue earned $20k in royalties on the opening weekend and was not even close to our biggest book.)
