Introduction
VoodooPad is a unique note-taking app available for OS X and iOS, with the special ability to create personal wikis. Each VoodooPad document behaves like a self-contained wiki, and can be edited, copied and shared like any other document on OS X. The wiki feature makes VoodooPad well suited for research purposes. VoodooPad is also a compelling app for non-fiction authors, and in this book, you will learn how to use VoodooPad for researching, writing and publishing ebooks in the industry-standard EPUB format. VoodooPad makes it possible for any author to elegantly transform knowledge into publication-quality ebooks.
This book has been written for VoodooPad 5, where the latest version at time of publication is 5.1.4b2
released in July 2015. The developers, Plausible Labs, are actively working on VoodooPad 6 with a focus on document synchronization and collaborative editing, which will make it possible for multiple authors to work together on curating and publishing personal wikis.
Scope of this Book
In this book, we aim to publish to the industry-standard EPUB format, which is accepted in most ebook stores including iBooks store, Kindle store, Smashwords, and Google Play Books. While VoodooPad supports direct export to EPUB, we will need to edit the EPUB to ensure it conforms to the requirements of each store.
Wiki software makes it possible to take a research-first approach to writing a book, unlike the traditional outline-first approach to writing. This is valuable when dealing with complex or fragmented topics where the outline is not clear up front. With a research-first approach, you can circumvent the blank page syndrome, and focus on accumulating and organizing the knowledge. Personal Wikis are well suited for the task of curating and revealing important knowledge. In VoodooPad, you will be able to
