I do not know if he would respond to this, but Piers Anthony [ 
hipiers.com ] has been using LibreOffice to write his books. The used 
OOo before that.  He is the one thatintroduced me to OOo, since he 
talked about Linux and OOo in his Author's Notes.  So, maybe we could 
have some text geared to writing both "technical writing" and "novel" 
and other "book" writing.  Mr. Anthony uses a number of macros, 
according to his Author's Notes, and he moved to OOo/LO partly for that 
purpose.

I will email a book editor friend and see if she has any ideas on what 
should be in a brochure or pamphlet for writers of books of all types.
