Publish with Markdown: From Blank File to a Finished Book Readers Buy

Are you tired of thinking about writing a book—maybe even starting one—only to stall out once formatting, tools, or publishing details get in the way?

Maybe you have notes scattered across files.
Maybe you've written half a book but hate fighting with word processors.
Or maybe you've published before, and the process felt harder than it needed to be.

This book shows you a simpler way.

This is a rewrite of a Kindle publishing book I released about 10 years ago.

In this clear, practical, and action-oriented guide, I walk you through a modern path from a blank Markdown file to a fully published book—without complex software, fragile layouts, or unnecessary steps.

You'll learn how to write, format, and publish using plain text and lightweight tools that stay out of your way, so you can focus on finishing the book.

In Publish with Markdown, you'll learn:

• A Markdown-first writing workflow that keeps your book clean, portable, and future-proof
• How to avoid formatting disasters and expensive software while producing a professional-quality book
• A step-by-step path to publishing on Amazon and beyond using files you control
• How to revise, update, and re-publish your book without starting over
• Why writing in plain text gives you leverage across ebooks, print, websites, and future projects

This isn't a theory book.

It's a do-the-thing book.

Publish with Markdown is for makers, developers, writers, and creators who want fewer tools, fewer obstacles, and a faster path to "published."

Stop waiting for the perfect setup.
Stop fighting your editor.

Open a text file.
Write the book.
Publish it.
