Design Overview
When working with a subject matter expert, one of the things you may start with is getting an idea of the book’s overall design. Sometimes, the SME has an idea at the beginning, and sometimes, it may take designing a few chapters or sections of content before it is finalized. Below are the questions that should be asked when working with a SME.
