Thank you for this walkthrough! I had a writer approach me to illustrate her picture book, but it seems like she would have all the sales information, and I would just have to take her word for it. I think I'll just publish my own picture books 😅

[paulturke]

Very helpful, and presented nicely. Thank you.

[beansbeans]

[jillrossiter]

really helpful, but I have a lot to learnxxx

[sylviecaron]

Thank you! Very good information for somebody like me who is totally new! 🙂

[sandrabush]

This was an excellent presentation. Exceptionally good for beginners such as I. The steps were presented in an easy to follow and understand way unlike so many tutorials that seem geared to the understanding of experienced techies. Can't thank you enough! Blessings.

Thanks a lot for your eye-opening video on Amazon KDP self - publishing. I really enjoyed it. I have problem getting my book pass the review stage. The very first work book I submitted for Amazon review passed the test and was published by Amazon. After a day or two, it was blocked. Since then, I have submitted two workbook for review, and were equally blocked . What do I do?

[curran]

Great presentation thanks, I'm just starting to think about this as I've just finished my first book. What kind of money do you get for publishing a book??

[adebayosamuel]

This is really a comprehensive tutorial on Amazon kpdp, pls, I want to know if it's possible to publish textbook on Amazon kdp, thanks

[edrigg]

Thank you. Very helpful. I am writing a novel with two or maybe three planned sequels. After downlading my first novel into Amazon KDP can I make editing changes and iclude chapter headings and add correct page numbers etc. Also can I add information about the sequels and planned launch dates?

[zacharyjames]

I appreciate the info, it's been very helpful. I was just wondering about the book cover/wrap. I've hired a friend to do the book cover and we've already settled on a design for the front. I didn't realize that I'd also need him to do the spine and back but I don't think that should be an issue as he's a talented artist and has done artwork for people's books in the past. I was curious about the information about the book on the cover itself, mainly on the spine and the back cover. Is that all info that I should give to him to add or is that information I add in the KDP program? Again, thank you so much for the info!

[idatong]

Thank you for a clear instruction. It's my first time and I spent the whole day on the process. Finally everything went through, but after going through all the bank info, it got disconnected itself. What should I do besides doing it all over again? Please give me advice. Thanks in advance. Ida

Great video, thanks. If my paperback has just 6 pages of photos of 172, can't I get the writing in cream? do I have to pick white so photos are colour?

[mwj]

Hi! Thanks for a very nice presentation! Your books look fantastic! I have a lot to do before I release my trilogy via "Rapid Release" and I want to have all three with front and back covers. My front covers I had a pro design, but can't afford back covers and must design my own and the spines. I want POD in paperback and hard cover.

The ideal for me is get all three books ready but not publish for a while and keep them in reserve. I'm not sure how long it will take to make my own author/musician website. I'm thinking its better to have a website than just an author page on Amazon, right?

Also how can I get all three books ready but not set a date? If I set a date then there's pressure to get all ready in time and I don't want that. Plus I will leave with copies of Book One to give to relatives on a 650 mile bicycle trip to visit them and also get three gift shops to sell copies and maybe newspaper and radio interviews on the way.

I want to have a sign on my bike noting "Author Selling his book!" or the like. I want to get things ready and publish in reasonable time but in my newbie case there are a lot of unknowns. . Does KDP allow for that kind of situation?

AI read my whole trilogy but did nothing but praise my story all the way except ChatGPT said to shorten some of my lengthy dialogue at the start of my Book One. AI didn't do any editing, grammar... nothing else. Is ChatGPT designed to only praise writer's stories, or will the be critical when necessary?

If ChatGPT likes my story very much does it mean my story is actually good? Do I have to say AI helped me with my story? I wrote my trilogy entirely by myself with comments from free lance editors and several beta readers. Any input from anybody is much appreciated!

How do we create a formatted manuscript? Is there a curtain format we should be using ?

[gladysp]

Very informative video..thank you. I am hoping to self publish a non fiction book on health coaching in the next couple of years, with the view to also marketing paper back copies in a shop outside UK. I am certain I will go the KDP way but was wondering if there's a best way forward to print the actual copies ? How do I engage a printing company to print once I go with Amazon? Any advice will be most welcome pls.I am a little green in this area😊 Thanks

[tjules]

Great video. How do I go about uploading pictures of the book if the book is not yet created?

[birthrighttrainingacademy]

Thank you. Very helpful info. I am a published author of 2 books (Random House) which are sold on amazon. And I really want to get into self publishing on Amazon. Do you know if this will impact me in any way? or can I leverage off this? Susan
