I now use Affinity Publisher for all of my print book formatting as well as my advertisements and book covers. Previously I used Word for non-fiction print formatting, Vellum for novels, and GIMP for any advertisements or covers.
It’s a great tool and I think they have excellent user forums and learning videos on their website (https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/), but for me when I was learning how to use the program, the content wasn’t in an order that made sense for what I needed. So I did a lot of watching and drowning and then finally putting it all together at the end.
To save others who may not be graphic designers but are instead self-publishers looking to master a new tool that same experience, I wrote four books showing how I use Affinity Publisher and then turned those into video courses as well.
(Also, for those who just need to know how to do one little thing in Affinity Publisher, I’ve published almost 90 short videos on YouTube as a video reference library.)
