Can you describe your Leanpub books? Are they in-progress or complete? What types of books are they?

My current Leanpub book is called, “The Pirates’ Cavern” and it is still a work-in-progress. It is a children’s book and it’s a project between my oldest son (he is the illustrator) and myself.

What do you think about Leanpub?

Leanpub rocks. Period.

Why do you use Leanpub?

Easy. Fun. Can test new ideas rapidly (and fail fast if needed).

How did you discover Leanpub?

I am impressed by all the “real world” people I know within the “Agile Community” internationally who use this platform. That’s my initial discovery point.

What’s your favorite Leanpub feature?

Getting an e-mail letting me know I have a, “New Reader.”

How have you reached out to potential and existing readers of your books?

Yes. It’s still a small readership on this platform but I have a great engagement with my readers to date.

What are your thoughts on the Lean Publishing approach? What types of books, and what types of authors, do you think it is good for?

It’s a novel approach. People either love it or hate it – and that’s good. It’s polarizing and disrupting an age-old industry. Any author – or wanna be author – should use this platform.

How long was your first Leanpub book when you first clicked the publish button? Would you publish earlier or later next time?

It’s still pretty early for me.

How can we improve Leanpub?

Keep listening. Keep delivering. Thank you!
