Technology for Authors

Writing is human. Publishing is digital. Many authors get stuck because they try to build a modern author career with old tools and scattered habits.

Technology for Authors is a practical guide for indie authors who want to use technology to write faster, publish cleaner, and market with less stress. This is not a book about becoming a tech expert. It is about choosing the right tools, setting them up simply, and building a workflow you can repeat for every book.

In this book, you will learn:

• How to choose writing tools that fit your brain and your schedule, from simple word processors to focused drafting apps
• How to set up a clean author workflow: drafting, file organization, backups, version control, and collaboration
• How to use editing and formatting tools to produce a professional ebook and print book without confusion
• How to handle covers, templates, and design assets in a practical way, even if you are not a designer
• How to build your author presence online using the tools that matter: website, email, and reader communication
• How to use social platforms with purpose, without turning your life into nonstop posting
• How to market and promote using tech that helps you target the right readers, track results, and improve over time
• How to protect your work with basic cybersecurity habits and safe account practices

This book is written for beginners who feel overwhelmed by tools, and for experienced authors who want a cleaner system. If you want technology to serve your writing, not distract you from it, this guide is for you.
