One of Apple's resources that perhaps and only perhaps has had less hype and less prominence is Apple Books. However it is a good platform to get started writing your first book.
Apple now has renewed the content of the web platform. As a result of the launch of this new page, we will be able to access a series of new resources for authors.
Apple wants to give a little more importance to its Apple Books division, launching a new website with which to make available to authors a new set of resources optimized for authors who use the Mac to write their books.
The resource we are talking about will help those who want to publish their content on the Apple Books platform. The new website walk through writing, publishing, marketing, and analysis with Apple Books. The web works for Mac and on computers with Windows operating system.
Apple describes the new site as follows:
Apple Books for Authors guides you through every step of your journey as an author, from structuring your story to packaging your digital book and selling it in our store. Even established authors find valuable resources on how to increase sales and track performance.
Apple also highlights some benefits of publishing with Apple Books compared to Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing. For example compare the rate consistent across all prices, no shipping costs, no limits on free book offers, and no third-party ads.
The guide helps authors through the use of Pages and iBooks Author applications. Also with other popular options like Microsoft Word and Scrivener for the writing process. Apple certainly doesn't want to lag behind its closest competitors.
