Pandoc ePress is Dead. Long live SPAB!

A couple of weeks ago I posted a free self-publishing helper tool called Pandoc ePress. Anyway, I’ve been hard at work on another version, and now I have something that should be useful to any do-it-yourself self publishing author. I streamlined the interface a touch, and added a couple more useful format targets.

The program has been renamed Self Publish A Book (SPAB!). I’m hosting it over on my self-publishing tutorial blog.

Now it can generate the files you need to immediately publish at:

• Amazon’s KDP (.mobi)
• Barnes & Noble’s PubIt  (.epub)
• Smashwords  (.doc)
• Lulu, Createspace, or UniBook (.pdf)

I need some help to test it, so please go try it out, and let me know what you think. Self Publish A Book

Here’s a screenshot:

Interesting side note: the Urban Dictionary defines Spab as “To stab somebody using a spoon.”

Aw, I really liked the Pandoc name! That was cool.

SPAB – spoon stabbing? LOL That’s funny. Who would do such a thing?

I think you’ve done a great work here Bryce. This will help a lot of people. Congratulations!

I originally called it Pandoc ePress so that I could make a logo that mimicked the “Panda Express”(tm) one. I decided to go the “not infringement” route.

So between that and the fact it uses so many other softwares, too…

And to your other question, I would definitely spab somebody – if I needed to not only injure, but humiliate them.
