Writing a book? No Sweat! Right? It’s what I do

Skilled Workman Posted on August 24, 2013 by David BergslandAugust 24, 2013

I’ve been working on the third edition of Writing In InDesign due out around the first of the year. As usual, I am writing a lot, rearranging everything, doing everything I can to make it more helpful and uplifting to my readers. It will also include the exciting new advances in ebook design and formatting now possible with InDesign CC. But this is just a quote about why we do what we do: ♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦•♦ So, I’m a writer … Continue reading →

What skills are needed to self-publish?

Skilled Workman Posted on July 30, 2012 by David BergslandSeptember 17, 2012

What skills do you need? The idea is that InDesign can be learned and you can become comfortable enough with the software so that it becomes an extension of your creativity. For example, as I started this chapter in the Writing In InDesign book, I hit the shortcut to set my headline. This started the chapter on the next odd page (which is the norm). When I wrote the headline and hit the Return key, InDesign changed to … Continue reading →

Self-publishing begins with the fact that you write…

Skilled Workman Posted on June 25, 2012 by David BergslandJune 25, 2012

Where do you start? My assumption is that this is something you are already doing. You have been writing and you have a body of work you want to publish. If you are not writing, you are not a writer. This is not for people who say “I really want to write a book about…” some day in the undefined future. Writing may be cathartic therapy for you. It may be sharing the weirdness of life. It … Continue reading →

Writing in InDesign is a true reader service

Skilled Workman Posted on May 28, 2012 by David BergslandJanuary 10, 2018

Writing within InDesign Here I am again recommending a road less traveled by—not unusual in my life and work. Before the choruses rise up in defense of other workflows, let me tell you my reasonings. I fully recognize that most people write in Word. What these people do not realize [in most cases] is this simple fact starts their book with a great handicap. If Word users are publishing their own book, they are missing out on … Continue reading →

Self-publishers need excellent typography

Skilled Workman Posted on January 25, 2012 by David BergslandJanuary 25, 2012

Things have changed so much in book publishing, that you must understand the new paradigm and why this means you must understand typography. Self-published authors must learn the art of communication with type. This is an excerpt from Writing In InDesign 2nd Edition which will be released as soon as possible. Here’s a link to the 1st edition _________________________________________ Writing within InDesign Here I am again recommending a road less traveled by—not unusual in my life and work. … Continue reading →

Fiction as ministry…

Skilled Workman Posted on February 3, 2010 by David BergslandFebruary 3, 2010

One of the joys of “retiring” is that I can give some real time to writing fiction. Why fiction? Because I can control the message so much better. I can say things that would not be possible in our modern politically correct society. Instead of talking about the apostate church [which few want to talk about], I can write about a world where a very religious church has taken over political power—persecuting and killing true believers. Instead … Continue reading →
