Had a long career as a photographer & writer about the outdoors, but now much more focused on fiction, especially SF. Author website is https://www.jonsparksauthor.com. Lots of photos and quite a lot of words at https://jonsparks.zenfolio.com. Still very much into the #outdoors, especially #cycling #gravelbikes (I’ve written about that too). AI-free (and I mean free).

#WritersCoffeeClub 20/9. Fonts.

My writing format looks nothing like the finished books. My writing font is Cambria, because I find it easy on the eye. With consistent use of Paragraph Styles, it’s easy to convert to Standard Manuscript Format or whatever when needed.

My paperback font, from the offerings at Atticus, is Cinzel. The title font for the cover is Big Caslon.

#WritersCoffeeClub 1/9 Shameless self promotion

I’ve been writing non-fiction (outdoors & travel, mostly) for 30+ years, alongside my photography, and I’ve had fiction projects bubbling away in the background for even longer, but only recently decided to shift focus properly to fiction. The first two books of my series, The Shattered Moon, are now available: Three Kinds of North and The Sundering Wall.
