Has anyone used Logos to write a book? Perhaps using sermon builder or lesson builder?
My research and notes include a wealth of my ideas and due dilligence. It would be lovely to create a document/book for publication.
Thanks.
Honestly, while I am not trying to write a book, Sermon Builder would be terrible for writing a book. Once a sermon manuscript gets so long, the typing gets glitchy. I guess it would work if you made a separate sermon document per chapter.
For my doctoral work, I did all of my research on Logos, storing it in notes, clipping documents, and custom layouts (layouts for different books I was reading, etc). I did all my typing in Microsoft Word, often having different documents for various chapters and portions, brought together toward the end.
I hope this helps some.
While you can start your research in Logos, you're not going to want use Logos to write a book you'd publish. Your publisher will give you a major hard time.
Use Logos to start your research.
Use a tool like Scrivener or Ulyssess to "draft" your book so you can easily move sections around and think through your draft "distraction free".
Once you have a draft you're comfortable with, then bring it into a word processor like Microsoft Word, Nota Bene, or Mellel.
Put together your manuscript with all the proper formatting, etc.
You'll still likely finish tagging your work in Word or a similar word processor.
Then submit the final Word docs and PDF to your publisher for copyediting and typesetting.
As someone who just went through this process this past year (and paid a few thousand to a publisher to get there), one thing I walked away from it was a good understanding of what publishers will and won't accept.
Or you can self-publish on Amazon—KDP. Instructions are available on the Amazon website.

I saw the NLT RI is on sale and when I went to the product page it says “You have temporary access to this product” I understand that it’s probably a subscription or something that is giving me the temporary access but how do I confirm ‘why’ I have access? I’m just trying to evaluate if it’s worth purchasing or not.

Hi all. I have Neusner's English translation of the Mishnah in Logos. I tried to look, but I could not find the Mishnah in Hebrew on Logos. Does this exist (preferably with vowel markings; even more preferably with morphological tagging)? If not, is it in the works? If not on both, does anyone know of an electronic format…
I was wondering if this has been attempted to all of Josephus works we have in existence?
@Mitch Snyder (Faithlife) It feels like this book has been forgotten. It was published a few months ago and was due to release in Logos on the day of publication. https://www.logos.com/product/396402/matthew Has it been forgotten?
