HT5071 publishing short story to ibook
I am trying to publish a short story to the ibook store but when I get to the place to enter a web site URL that I do not have it will not let me bypass this section. What URL do I need to use?
There are plenty of free webs offered online - google "free websites" and take your pick. All are usually preset templates, just had some text and a few pictures.
If that sounds daunting, look for a "friend" who builds websites and ask advice.
BUT, basically, you can just use your Facebook account. Apple want your readers to have a popint of contact for support. If dont have FB, ,its very simple to open an account and you do not have to fill in every box... my registered name with FB is "Sales Staff"!!
Come back if you run into problems.....

Hello all,
I'm intersted in publishing a short story (about 25 pages) using iBooks Author. However, I can't figure out if I can do so without having a table of contents, chapters, sections, etc. Is there a simple way to just have a cover, intro media, then go dCrafting a chapter-less book is possible, but a minimum of one section is required. Remove the chapter label, leave the TOC blank and you'll then have a basic/generic point from which to work with.
Use the 'File/Save As Template' menu before modifying further if you want to reuse later, etc. -
Hi and thanks in advance ... I'm looking to create a muse website for short story authors so they can submit their stories and visitors to the site could comment on a story, vote or rate it, and retrieve past stories from an archive either by date, author, subject, category (fiction, non fiction, etc or randomly. I realize a back end system of some sort ( a CMS) is likely needed or some embed code from an external service of some sort.
Does anyone have any leads on a CMS or other such service that will do this?
Again ... thanks!
GaryHi Gary
You can use Blogs or forums for achieving purpose, where users can upload their stories and viewers can rate/vote it. If you are using third party hosting platform then you would need to integrate using html.
These links will help you :

In case you are using Business Catalyst , then you would need to create Blog/Forum on BC end and then use module in Muse page, which will on publish show the blogs with rating, comments etc.

I am not allowed to sign in with my Apple ID on iTunes Connect when I am trying to publish my book in iBooks Author. I do not understand why because I have fulfilled the first steps creating an account and informed my IRS tax number...
The recommendation is always to make another ID for use with a paid books account. And while I can't swear this is at the root of your issue, you should in any case reach out to Apple for assistance on this one, I think.

HT5213 Can you publish to iPhone with iBooks Author?
Can you publish to iPhone with iBooks Author?
No, sorry.
iBooks Author creates a hybrid epub that works on iPad only.
Use Pages, InDesign, etc. to generate a standard epub that will work on both iPhone and iPad if that is your goal. -
Is there an apple approved agreggator that allows me to publish to the iBookstore ibooks created using iBooks author? I would like to use the interactivity that iBooks Author allows but need an aggregator that supports it. Thank you.
Apple - iTunes - Partner Programs - Book Publishers
See a list of Apple-approved aggregators
Start contacting them with your particular needs and see who fits best.
Be sure to understand this info:
Please note that if you choose to work with an aggregator to distribute your content on the iBookstore, Apple's contractual and financial relationship is with that aggregator. -
I have just downloaded Adobe Story and I am wondering if it can be used to write an Article or Novel. Maybe in a short story?
Although not really designed for Articles and Novels, if you insist you it may work but would not be really be fit for purpose. I mean you can use the research or synopsis document, most documents you create are free form text (text editor), except scripts. I would recommend the use of other software for Novels.

Conclusion after trying to insert 30 page short story
View screens should be detachable for multiple screens.
Writer functions should take precedence over reports, other functions. If you don’t make it easier for the writer, you make everything more difficult for others down the line. This is called AdobeStory, not AdobeDirector. Taking the viewpoint of the director and his or her needs skips the most important aspect... the story! The screen directions, money funneling reports come way, way after the creative bursts that creates the story.
The entire interface should really be WORD first, dissemination of the written elements to functionaries second. Build an application like WORD, OPEN OFFICE, STORYMILL,SCRIVERS on top on this app that integrates seamlessly and you’ll have a full creative product.
You must make the whole process easy for the writer (remember, many directors are writers).
I should be able to create written material exactly the same as in WORD, or I will go to WORD or other writer program to write the story. If I do that (defeats the purpose of this application or make it twice, three times the work) then I should be able to seamlessly import WORD back into a first draft structure.
A conversion of literary elements of a story should be taken into account, i.e., interior monologue to voice over narration, naming conventions, cliches, redundancies, homonyms, pacing, readability, phrase repeats, word frequencies, Kincade analysis, etc... these writer algorithms already exist.
A novel, short story is to film is rarely a collaborative effort until very near the end. A short film about monkeys or sewers might be, but remember ‘author’ is short for authority or single source voice.
The text formatting mini window is very annoying. ELiminating the writer function in favor of category functions is also annoying... once again the writer is made second fiddle to production engineering.
Synonyms access is of the highest importance... not seeing it! Grammar (SPAG) functions are basically nonexistent.
Where is the off-line application? On line means I always must write in a wi-fi area, but I’d rather sit in a private area of my estate past the pool (am I kidding... lol)
Why do I have to always use the keyboard functions (CMD-C, etc) to manipulate text?
I should be able to hide the very top panel (PROJECT, AUTHOR ) bar to give me more space on singe screen laptop. (In my office I use 2 screens systems - 3 computers) . This interface is dull... but of course that is just a design feasture for the future.
Keyboard failure (but not in other apps, Growley, WORD, StoryMill, etc)???
Text respond is way too slow. Important navigation is too small.
Has this been tested using a variety of pointing devices. I use a roller ball, keyboard, command line, a wireless mouse, a pen, trackpad and touchscreen.
I use WORD for the mac, even Apple conceded WORD is far better than PAGES and every other word processor, so should you.
The flash based interface kind of sucks since I am so use to Dreamweaver, InDesign, Photoshop... CS5 continuity?
Full screen view disallows use of other applications. Again, on initial write of novel/short story I flip between a half a dozen research DBs, Wikipedia and notebooks apps.
I wrote a 300 page + novel in Dreamweaver, incorporated my own CF database with calls to CF parameters tags used to call chapters and text pages... and it was a breeze to do.
Calling dictionary/thesausus in full screen mode is moot until taken out of full screen. THese functions should be pop-ups and moveable.
Sorry to sound so whiny. Interface is not intuitive, not conducive for 10-12 hour writing sessions at full steam.
Conclusion - learning the simple stage directions/screen direction and then applying them in WORD would be faster.
Of course if I were a stage manager or production manager this would be a good organizational tool, but it fails as a writing application. Call it AdobeDirector or Producer-MoneyMan PDF creator.There is an offline version of the program. When using it, you simply log in with a password and can toggle between working online and offline at your leisure.

Publish our epub to iBook store
Dear All,
We are trying to publish our epub to iBook store using iTune producer 2.6. When we uploaded this epub we have occurred some errors in iTunes Connect as follows:
Tickets
1222966 - Publication - Pending
We have corrected the error by republishing the epub book using my itmsp in iTune Producer. We upload the Corrected book in assets in iTune Producer after that we got message as "Deliver".
In iTune Connect, we have seen the Ticket Details as follows,
Epub internals validation passed
The following ticket task(s) have been updated by the feed: Preview epub
Still now we got the message as "Publishing - Pending". We can't see our book in the store.
Is there any delay for publishing books in the iBook store always? When we can see our upload in the iBook store?
This way of publishing is the correct one or you have any other solution.Sorry, but we are all just fellow users here; no one from the ITunes Store participates in these forums. So no one here can give you any useful information about your book. You will need to contact the iTunes Store directly - you should have a contact via your iTunes Connect account (log into your account and look for a "contact us" at the bottom of the page if you have not been given a specific representative) - and ask them.

I import one track which is one region and it is a little more than one hour long. It is the import from the master, It is a spoken word short story and the reader makes a a few flubs/miscues in reading. He repeats to redo text where he makes reading mistakes. So, I have a story in one track-spoken word. Now, I edit out mistakes and finish the first draft.
There are now 100 regions in the track. I go back to fine tune the edit and recheck for reading mistakes and editing mistakes. In region 10 I realize I must cut a portion out because of an extraneous word mishap. This spilt makes region 10 shorter. Now I must move ALL regions, 11-100, up to take up the unwanted gap. How do I get all, 11-100 regions to move up and keep the story intact, in synch?
Then, in region 20 I realize I must lengthen it, part of a sentence is cut off. I re-import the original to a new track and find the sentence I need and spilt the track so I can replace the faulty region 20 with the new and longer region 20. Now, region 21-100 need to move downstream to make room for the longer replacement region.
How do I get 21-100 to move as one unit, downstream so I can add 20 and keep everything in sync?
I do not think, or at least hope, I have to select each 21-100 regions individually.jackerle wrote:

the most obvious way is to zoom out and drag select them all.
a less obvious way would be select all the regions (click in the track header) and choose the Join menuItem to create one large region out of all the peices, then you're moving only a sngle region after your edit point

you created extra work for yourself, edits are non-destructive:

just grab the bottom right corner of the region and drag to the right to bring back the missing section -

HT5071 Publishing from iBooks Author for approval
I am in the process of creating a book with iBooks Author and want to send it to contributors for approval. I know how to do it if they have an iPad. Is there a way to convert to another format for viewing with a Mac or PC?
Thanks,

Thanks KT,
Yes, problem is that the chapters are a combination of contextual text and sound bites.
If you are able to accomplish the same result with .epub format, this would be readable on all platforms. But you would have to use some other app, like Pages, to create it. -
HT5071 How to download paid iBook created using iBook Author
I would like to submit a paid iBook created using iBook Author and make it available to download in India. Apple does not support downloading paid iBooks in India. Is there a solution for this. Also, is there an enterprise deployment of iBooks ie limited distribution of paid iBook.
Apple requires that books can only be sold through the Store. See iBooks Author: Publishing and distribution FAQ - Support for details otherwise.
As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.
