This video was phenomenal!! Thank you so much! I'm working on creating a deck of Tarot cards and publishing them independently and the guidebook has been giving me so much anxiety. I feel much better equipped to do the work myself now <3

Loved this vid. It answwered lots of Q's . Thanks for making it and giving a hand up to others. I appreciate it

you rock! thank you for this!

The chapter titel / headers are part of the same text box as the body copy?

Is there a way to convert a single document into multiple chapters?

Excellent. Very clearly explained, thank you.

Thanks Rick, I appreciated this video a ton!

Thank you so much for this Affinity Publisher series. It's been so helpful!

Thank you so much! Exactly what I needed to transform word documents into publishable pdfs, in an efficient and consistent way.

I’ve watched this video probably 10 times, it’s very helpful. Thanks!

What a helpful video! Thanks so much.

How do you get the font preview to be jumbo size? In your video, the font preview is large and the samples are easy to see. That's one of the long-term problems with Affinity. The font size on the panels and in the font preview is too damn tiny!

thank you so much for your tutorial. Eye opener! I will give it a try. Thx again.

Unpopular opinion but I find your content really natural and educational without being "mentoring" (pretentious).

52:27 min. oh, I laughed so hard!!! 🤣

Initial caps style should have been set to 'small caps' not 'all caps'.

Not a good idea to use opacity to establish a colour. It does not transfer well when converting to pdf (vector). For pdf rasterised it does not matter but rasterised transparency always look "grainy".

Great....

I really wish you'd explain why you are doing things

I’m getting back into using Scrivener after a while away b/c navigating and managing my dissertation proposal was giving me some of the problems you mentioned regarding writing fiction. Thanks for the video! I took some useful advice from it for getting my writing under control. Cheers.

At last a good formatting video THANK YOU.

how did you track the word count in the meta data please?

loved your review, i just bought your book, im an old Terry Brooks Shanara fan.

Thanks. This is exactly what I needed for formatting my novella.

Again, thank you.

Thank you. I keep returning to your Publisher videos as I begin the process of going from Scrivener to Word to Affinity Publisher. Lots of videos on InDesign, but almost nothing on Affinity Publisher for novel formatting. You provide a great service by doing blow-by-blow accounts of getting your book into Affinity Pub.

This tutorial is just what I needed. Thanks a lot!! Very clear and to the point. More, please! I am editing a really big non fiction book. Learning about sections and shortcuts is a life saver. I would love to know though, if , when I break up my book into sections as you explain somewhere, each of these sections (=files) will maintain their own independet "sections"? Basically I need to have "sections": like "part 1,2,3 "etc. and within each section I need chapters. Is that possible?

Good video. I'm always open to looking at new software. Right now, though, I'm using Word for my novel, and -- as I'm now approaching 160,000 words -- I'm starting to notice that lag that you mention. As for forgetting names, I'm old fashioned, and like Dramatis Personae, with thumbnail descriptions. I bookmark and hyperlink the names to "first mention" in the book. I also like Tables of Contents with titled chapters. I did the same bookmarking and hyperlinking there, to help me get around the document.

This was the BEST video on Affinity Publisher (or anything else, for that matter) I've ever watched. I worked on my upcoming textbook all day today, working through it with you. THANK you. I'm also looking for a good vid about the MANY images which are in the Word doc... Can you please recommend?

Hi Parker.. appreciate for posting such long detailed video. Finally I decided to go head and purchase this software after seeing what can be accomplished from this excellent program. I will hop on your contact soon some time. Thanks for generosity and keeping book writing buddies informed.

You can actually structure the whole Series/book thing in the Templates section, so you just add the series or book folder, and everything inside it is also added. That will make creating a new book (or series) a lot easyer.

Thank you :)

12:10 - Google Fonts is the best place to get quality free commercial use fonts. Ask ChatGPT or Claude for advice on what Google Fonts will pair the best for your use case. Parker here is dead on about making sure you don't break the law in this matter.

Boa tarde. Como controla o espaço entre frases e entre caracteres? No In Design surge uma barra em amarelo com vários tons mostrando os "rios" criados no texto. Muito Obrigado pela atenção

❤

master info starts at 9:33

Brilliant, thanks. You have convinced me to move to Affinity Publisher from Adobe InDesign.

Boa tarde. Gostei de ver a sua aula. Eu tenho 73 anos e estou a escrever as minhas memórias de vida, que passam também pela Guerra Colonial, que Portugal travou em Angola (África) estava com o Indesign cs 6 mas como não domino a informática o meu computador teve de ser formatado e o programa se perdeu. Descobri e Affinity Publisher que está em promoção, mas as coisas são muito diferentes. Assim vinha-lhe solicitar se me poderia ajudar a fazer o Indice (sumario). Certo da sua melhor atenção, apresento as minhas desculpas, mas não sei inglês razão de me dirigir ao Senhor em português. Grato do coração.

Thanks for sharing this, I really appreciate all the tips you gave, it is definitely a save time, and a great way to organize all your writings

I love your videos. Could you make a tutorial on text styles and what all those options mean, such as leading, kerning etc ?

All you do is bombard us with countless settings, with no explanantion as to what most of them actually do and no visual feedback as to what the changes achieve. And why not edit out the vaping, it just looks ignorant.

One of the other great things about Scrivener is the ability to link all your notes/info directly to relevant scenes (this include character bio, loctions, history, magic systems, lore, etc) . Then you don't have to leave the scene to go to look up information, you can just open it in the side bar (for me it is on the right side of the screen) and you have both the notes AND your scene open at the same time. It is a great application. I choose to keep each series I work on in a different file, but all the novels in a series will be in that one file. It adaptability to each person's own way of organizing and working is what makes it what I believe to be the best writing application out there.

FYI, "opacity" has an a sound like "iPad". Nice video, exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you! You have saved my sanity! Clear, concise instruction. I paced myself through it and went along with the steps with my own manuscript. Fabulous!

This is an excellent tutorial. I learned a lot from it and am very appreciative of your effort in producing it. I just have one question. Did you mistakenly edit out the creating of a Chapter start style? I don't believe I just missed it, but I could not find it. I created one anyway but am not sure if I got it right. Thanks again!

Thank you for this tutorial. I bought the software years ago but was too overwhelmed to use it. Now I can finally put it to good use!

Great video! I am writing a history book which will be about 300-400 pages with lots of photos, so assuming saving one chapter at a time as you show would work best. However, if I create it that way, can I still use the index feature? Thanks!

New to Scrivener, so I am wondering why you cannot compile just a section of the Manuscript, say Novel 1, instead of setting up a collection manually for this purpose. In my version (Scrivener 3 on Windows), you can select a portion of Manuscript (which you could rename to Series) to compile (say, all of Novel 1). It's definitely useful to organize and have all the research information available for a whole series, but it's unclear why using a collection is better. Was this feature not available previously? Is there some other reason to use a collection for compiling?

Hey R.L. (gives you an air of distinction) Anyway with this video help I have been able to work styles in Publisher 2. My page size is 4 in by 6 inch. I have flowed in my material. I usually try and create a booklet and self-publish not trying to make millions on amazon or anything like that, Just self print these for local consumption. Anyway when I go to print and create booklet it goes for a scosh and then I get a Print workflow error and stop. Any ideas?
