This video will definitely be rewatched in the future. Everytime I finish a final draft, this will be my go-to guide.

Is it easier to do some "preformatting" before plugging it into D2D? Or just basics like chapter headers and assorted illustration, and D2D takes care of most of it?

Also, I found that there's a bit of a difference between ingrams park and KDP as well. So if you're going to use those different services, you're going to need different size covers. The person I got my covers from adjusted for the different services and no extra charge.

And most publishing companies you have to pay which I don't really want to.

  • Bethany, I am grateful for this information. However, I am now confused about the physical books. How do I go about getting the hard copies if the ebook is that simple?

  • I have a typed manuscript left to me from my grandfather. I’ve had it for almost 20 years! I NEED to publish it. It was his biggest wish! I’m assuming to begin, I need to type the whole thing into a word doc? There’s no where to mail the typed manuscript anymore, correct? When I’m typing it, are there certain margins I have e to stay within?

  • Hey Bethany. Thanks for the video. It is very helpful. I was looking for a firm that handles on demand publishing and distribution. But I think I encountered scams and a big schema. They are the first sponsored results on Google. Is it right?

    • Glad it was helpful! I show this in the linked video where I show the paperback uploading process as well (it's in the description I think if you're interested) but once you have an ebook, it'll offer the option to link a paperback and fill in a lot of the same info automatically.

  • Great video! Super helpful. I would really appreciate a response to this question: can I leave my book on KDP and put the same book on D2D? I feel like I saw somewhere in the legalese that you have to pick one or the other. It’s a copyright issue to have your book on both, according to somewhere that I read. But I really want to have Kindle unlimited for my book but also have the wide distribution of D2D. Can I have both?

    @ACSutliff@ACSutliff4 ай бұрын

    • It’s not a copyright issue to use both KDP and D2D. However if you enroll your book in KDP’s kindle unlimited program that’s an agreement that the ebook is exclusive to Amazon-whenever enrolled in that program that ebook must be exclusively on KDP.

  • Great video! The only thing I would mention is that if you want your content copyrighted, there is a $65 fee for that... technically, having a copyright page in your book is the best first step, but to really solidify the protection, it could be registered.

    • Unfortunately I have copyright and my books still get stolen and pirated. Unless I want to take them to court, the copyright does nothing for me. Plus in the US your work is copyrighted the moment you write it.

  • Great video and certainly really helpful for those who want to self publish books. 😊 I would suggest that in future videos, try to get the sound of your video edited (I was listening to it with headphones, and the background felt a bit too noisy at times). You have a great sounding voice, so if you get that sorted out, you'll sound even better. If you need help with that contact me, I'll be willing to help out. 🙂

Unfortunately, I'm not tech savvy and am a full time mom, so while I'd definitely like to learn more about sound quality, it's something that will have to happen slowly over time just due to always being behind on my work haha... But I'll make a note to work on it when I can!
