AccessibilityPro: Make Your Book Accessible and Formatted Nicely, With AI-Generated Alt Text and Expert Taste

CourseAI: Create a Course from Your Leanpub Book with AI-created Quizzes and Exercises and optional Video Interviews, and Unlock Corporate Training Budget Revenue

Who is AccessibilityPro For?

AccessibilityPro is for authors who want to ensure their book is accessible and compliant with industry standards.

We use AI to generate accurate and meaningful alt text for all images, integrate it directly into your Markdown manuscript, and verify that your book passes Ace by DAISY accessibility checks. Along the way, we also ensure your book is formatted based on Leanpub best practices.

By purchasing AccessibilityPro, you’ll book a kickoff Zoom meeting. In this session, we’ll:

  • Discuss your book and your goals for it
  • Set clear expectations for what AccessibilityPro includes
  • Explore whether a GlobalAuthor package might be a better fit. (If you decide to upgrade to a GlobalAuthor package, your $649 AccessibilityPro session fee will be applied as a credit.)
  • When signing up, you’ll schedule your Zoom call to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there a Zoom call?

Frankly, for most authors, GlobalAuthor is a better fit. The Zoom call is a chance for us to discuss your needs and see whether AccessibilityPro is right for you, or whether there is a better GlobalAuthor package that would suit you better.
