Leanpub Author Forum

Although it happens very rarely I'm always please to get reader feedback. But, its as rear as hen's teeth. So to have got two in one week is unheard of.

However, I was already suspicious of the first one, very general, nothing to argue with, almost my own words played back to me "What struck me was..."

Second one has same content-free style.

And the e-mail addresses are fairly anonymous.

I'm thinking these are AI-slop. Anyone else getting them?

Nor do I know why? - but then I don't know why people are creating AI models to commit hack.

Any ideas welcome.

LeanPub: any way we can stop these? - I write for humans so I'm only interested in human feedback

OK, I am almost through :-)

It seems when I enable "Show chapter name in page headers", it also shows the book title on the opposite page? It did not use to do that. Is there a new setting that I missed? If the two settings are linked, perhaps just update the description.

It's not critical, I made small fixes to my book an am looking carefully at any differences. Thank you!

Hi everyone - check out this great guest post on the Leanpub blog by Max Guernsey, III:

If you're interested in learning more about Max's approach to serial fiction writing and self-publishing, here's a recent Leanpub Podcast episode where we discuss it in detail:

I have two authors set for my book. I am set to the primary author and come first in the list. I also have a second author that is not set to primary and is second in the author list. However on the landing page the second none primary author is listed first.

How do I change the ordering and is it possible to have a second author but not have them listed on the landing page?

For one of my books (https://leanpub.com/author/book/fastfeedbackusingruby), generating a preview fails when attempting to push changes to Dropbox.

The error/info message is this:

This error occurred during a preview.

This isn't something in your manuscript — it's an internal issue on our side. Our build system encountered a temporary communication problem with Dropbox while trying to sync your project files. Please try building again; these transient network hiccups usually resolve on retry, and our team has been notified of the issue.

Retrying, however, didn't help. I'm getting the same error again.

Generating a PDF preview for another book works fine, though. So I'm wondering what I am missing here…

My royalty over $1000 was cancelled this month. I think I missed the wise email. I emailed help 5 days ago no reply.

What to do ?
