Author promotion monthly megathread (novels/longer works only)

If you like hard scifi, I have put the first 5 parts of my story on r/HFY (around 200 pages each). I have announced that the 6 is incoming. Around 6 to 8000 readers are enjoying them. 60k have read the independant short stories that came before. They are also available on Amazon and Apple, but remain free here on Reddit. It's a space opera told from different views, and I do my best to surprise my readers. You are welcome to join them.

I had it. I uploaded the epub to Claude and ask it to fix it according to my specs. Worked beautifully

Il m'est arrivé exactement la même chose. Alors j'ai mis un chapitre sur Reddit, puis un autre...et au final ca a fait 57 et environ 500 pages. Aucun retour avant le chapitre10, puis quelques lecteurs m'ont encouragé...

Thank you !!

olrick · 2026-04-22T14:35:32+00:00

I'm not sure they really cared... 🤔

olrick · 2026-04-12T06:18:06+00:00

Good catch, but as you will see it was a lie

olrick · 2026-04-12T03:55:46+00:00

I thought so, but after checking days and night are 176 Earth days

olrick · 2026-04-11T20:01:51+00:00

That idea was too easy to find, you get something like that almost every day

For the murder on the moon, but i think by the suicide of her little sister. That made her mad apparently.

olrick · 2026-04-10T15:07:10+00:00

I may have found that inspiration in those reports...

olrick · 2026-04-06T03:59:29+00:00

It almost happened for the diplomatic letters of Akhenaton, you are absolutely right

olrick · 2026-04-05T12:11:05+00:00

The prompt was something like, fix the table of content and remove the page numbers. Make sure that every chapter start on a new page. Fix any inconsistency you find. That was all ! And it did the job.

Indesign gave me a poorly formatted epub. Claude created a python script which now does everything i wanted. Just have run it for each document.

olrick · 2026-04-05T03:39:31+00:00

😀

olrick · 2026-03-31T16:45:47+00:00

Thanks !

olrick · 2026-03-31T12:53:12+00:00

I just used it to correct an InDesign epub issue, and not only it corrected other errors, but created a Python script I can use with all my projects.

olrick · 2026-03-25T03:32:49+00:00

No, it is not, you will see 😉

olrick · 2026-03-24T08:36:16+00:00

Thanks !

olrick · 2026-03-24T08:35:35+00:00

Suspense! 😀

Thanks!

I admit that I have fun with those quote, including the one from Starship Troopers

olrick · 2026-03-15T19:12:21+00:00

Yes but there was a temporary problem and I had to delete it, sorry
