An ePub is an open industry format known for its compatibility across e-readers and other devices, though accessing this file type does require an app or software to read. This file type is not a one-click reading experience such as a PDF or similar. View our ePub Guide to learn more.

I find myself turning to the numerous publishing and writing blogs for a sense of community, but I’m thinking about cutting back on that. The overall tone is so negative these days that it can be a bit depressing. …
(It’s not good.)
Steven Piersanti, President, of one the best independent publishers, Berrett-Koehler, cheers us up with these awful truths, including:
