Glad the author shared his methods. If you're going to repeat this, I'd suggest you give it a try with the first 10 to 15 pages. Something like a small zine. Then use all the tools and make sure you get the output you're expecting.
I've written several booklets that I sell on Amazon and my website. If you're interested in writing but not ready to commit to a full novel, try publishing a small zine or two. It's a lot of fun.
My latest is a series that teaches JavaScript by creating computer art. Readers learn by copying.
Very off topic, but I couldn't find another easy way to get in touch with you. If you're up for it, I'd be super keen to swap notes on self-publishing. (Or to be more precise, I'm super keen to learn about your experiences with subscription self-publishing, and I'm hoping I can return the value in some way. I've been doing skill-building biz books & a bit of textbook stuff.) I'm rob@robfitz.com if it's relevant.
