Training #629 – Ask us Anything on Accessibility and Cover Design

Updated on

In this Ask Us Anything and Hot Seat session, we started off by covering some of the latest publishing news, including:

  • The New York Times changes to its bestseller lists
  • An NYT freelance reviewer dropped for AI-related plagiarism concerns
  • Whether authors should use Substack to help sell certain non-fiction books

We also went into detail about the European Accessibility Act that became active last Summer, explaining EPUB’s built-in accessibility features, micro-business exceptions, and the tools/resources you can use to check your own book accessibility.

We also had a great hot seat, where we reviewed Alexander’s illustrated chapter-book cover, where highlighted what it does well and a few areas of improvement. This also led into a discussion on optimizing our Kindle files.
