My wife's typical workflow looks like this:
- write story in LibreOffice
- basic spellcheck/edit
- send it to me for editing (grammar, punctuation, pacing, etc)
- rework based on my suggestions
- we both do another edit (and continue this step until she's satisfied with it)
From there, I handle all of the formatting.
- I take the .odt and use kate (text editor) to create an HTML file which I then convert to epub and mobi with Calibre.
- Then I go back to the source .odt and reformat it before exporting it as a PDF (again in LibreOffice)
- Then I take the source .odt, strip it of all formatting and save it as a .doc which I then format according to the Smashwords guide before submitting it to Smashwords. (So far I'm 2 for 2 and have never had her books denied from Premium Distribution on the first try)
Once I'm done with that I publish directly to Amazon and B&N.
