 Hey @AviBurra - I have a book author banned from kindle who is considering joining nostr, and publishing chapters as you did. 

What’s the best place to point him to to get started? 
 How does an author become banned from KDP? Curious 
 Good question 😅 
 Smashwords is a decent alternative. 
 Is that nostr? 

Where can I point him to on nostr? 
 Smashwords isn’t Nostr; it’s an online distributor. 

There’s Creatr which is like the Nostr version of Patreon. I’m looking into that next year to publish my fantasy novel. 

There’s long form Nostr clients like Yakihonne and any Nostr account can set up an npub.pro website which can be a way to consolidate an ongoing written work. 

That’s what I know of. Interested to see what other answers you get . 
 TBD 🤩 Interested to see what new services are developed 
 A lot more tools available now than when I was doing it. He should look into npub.pro - it uses the ghost engine and is good for blogging. He can build an audience there by publishing chapters as blog entries 
 Cool. Did you use a long form writer? 
 No, when I started in Feb-March last year, I wasn’t sure how reliable the long form clients were back then. I used regular ghost, posted the link on nostr, and then updated the post with note id. 
 You can write posts in Habla.news or Yakihonne or Highlighter.com and set up npub.pro to have them automatically published on your own site/domain. With reactions, comments, zaps etc built in. Please let me know if you need any help with it. 
 Oh my didn't know I was to talking to you elsat! :)
