We use, to the greatest extent possible, Free Open Source Software (FOSS) for everything from drafting to graphic design, layout, and publishing.
Operating System: Manjaro (Linux) – We have been experimenting with Manjaro for the better part of a year. After plenty of updates and zero hiccoughs, we’re pretty confident with a Manjaro foundation for our work.
Editing & Revision: Libre Office – Libre Office does everything we need it to do and more.
Layout: Scribus – Discovering Scribus was a real boon. Professional quality page layout and design without the Adobe price tag.
Graphics: Inkscape, GIMP – Two very powerful graphic design and manipulation programs.
Publishing: Amazon KDP – We have decided to go with Amazon KDP for our debut novel, SHELL (coming Summer 2021!). This allows us to publish in both print and E-book format simultaneously.
