Why did I walk away from a traditional publishing contract and move my books to Leanpub? In this video, I share how my technical writing career started, why I chose to self-publish, and what it's actually like writing on Leanpub, including its excellent GitHub integration that lets you write your book like code. I'll also share lessons I've learned from years of writing about Linux. *📚 Discounts, Courses, Books, and More!
