That’s great! I don’t believe it’s ever occurred to me that a publisher might reach out to a blogger.

One good use for web analytics eh.

I have a text file I’ve kept for 16 years that contains quotes from many sources and some of my own musings. I dream to one day use it to inspire myself to spout something.

Perhaps publish it on Github? Maybe someone will find a gem in there.

I have some musings [1] on Github too. Thoughts that I want to get out there but are too incoherent to become blog posts ...

Great riddles.

It's a more common origin story than you might think, and not just in tech publishing. I have a friend who wrote a comedy article as a paid guest post. The thing went wildly viral and the publishers came a-knocking to bookify his piece.

I got approached by \newline based on a Github repo.

Took me 3-4 months to convert it into a book and I made ~10k with it.

I got approached from Packt publishing based on a github repo. Thought it was cool at the time, but later I felt maybe it was a bit like recruiterspam on linkedin, I just got hit by some keyword filter, as my repo wasn't particularly exciting.
