[[books/Chimping Out|Chimping Out]], my current book under development, is a live example: every completed marked passage and quotation can become its own page, poster, permalink, feed item, and social object while the book is still being written. A year and a half of composition can therefore produce a year and a half of premarketing material, growing from dozens to hundreds and potentially thousands of derivative pages and visual assets without requiring a parallel campaign of disposable promotional copy. Every derivative points back to the developing book, so the audience encounters the work through the same ideas that will ultimately constitute it. **Source:** [[projects/The Argument in Miniature - How I Write Quotations, Paragraphs, and Reusable Prose|The Argument in Miniature: How I Write Quotations, Paragraphs, and Reusable Prose]] ## Share on Social Media ``` “A book written through Atomic Markdown's passage-and-quotation architecture begins building its market long before its manuscript is finished.
