Hello Rich, You made my life simple!!! As a first time book publisher, you have given ample of information through this concise video!! --Thanks a bunch!

Wow this is so helpful. Thank you ❤

[@jonathansuarez7464]

Great video!

[@lizahermandez57]

Great video, thank you very much for sharing.

[@shivsaywack3478]

Thank you. This was super clear and just what I needed: Walking me through each step, publishing for dummies - this dummy, anyway!

[@brianhorn1038]

You should tell people they can't publish their book anywhere else if they go with Amazon KDP and choose the free ISBN with KDP. If you do that, you legally can't publish your book anywhere else.

[@LaurentiArnault]

2.23 (the slideshow is from the google play account, update to B&N ;) Other than that, excellent work, a pleasure watching your content.

[@silvernestmedia]

Hey.. Thanks for the great information. But it looks like you can only self-publish if you are from only a few countries listed. Am from Kenya but seems like there are only a few countries to choose from

[@sylviagray8823]

Thank you. I will follow your guideline to self publish my book on Barnes & Noble.

[@schultzb7513]

Rich you're the best, Thank You! I got all the info I needed in direct and clear explanation and without any silly antics!! that is rare on youtube! Keep up the great work

[@jeffdaniels9218]

Love it. I’ll follow this advice once my book is ready to publish. Thank you for doing these.

[@stinkthedog1396]

Thank you sooooo much for all you share!!! Very helpful. Your hard work is appreciated.

[@healerondemand3464]

I originally made my ebook in Canva so it’s all together. The cover and the synopsis and the book and my picture. Is this not a good idea. It’s in a pdf format

[@marvelousasiana514]

This is amazing. Thanks

[@agirlnamedgoo-007]

This was really thorough, except you didn't cover how to upload a second edition. I can find literally no information online about that. Does it wipe out the first edition? Do the reviews migrate over? Why doesn't the "book details" section show up when you're going through the uploading process? No one has answers or instructions on this, and B&N is *impossible* to talk to--you get better answers just screaming into the void. I actually do not recommend them as a self-publisher, there are much better options out there, guys.

[@farhansultan1353]

WHERES THE VENDOR OPTION GOES?

[@Youonlyget1]

How are you able to format the interior of the book, It seems like I have to go back and resize everything.

[@blazevich]

Here’s a video that shows how to format your book: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWW1mmuah6qgjLs. I hope this helps.

Thank you for the tutorial on how to on Barnes and Noble Press, but I would like to know if I can sell my eBook on the site even though it's also selling on Google Play Books and KDP as well?

THE ONLY PROBLEM I SEE WITH BARNES AND NOBLE IS THAT IT ONLY ALLOWS A FEW COUNTRIES TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT. 🤨

Hi, I'm disabled and there isn't a number for BnB press to talk to them. I want to figure out how to make my book returnable, so I can get into stores. Thank you so much for making this video

I published my book on draft to digital and I know they distribute to Barnes and noble, Kobo etc. My question is, can I publish on D2D and still publish on Barnes and noble, Kobo, etc?

Great video and I wish I had watched this before I started. I got my book published and then revised it. When I tried to load it again, I keep getting an error. I loaded in the same format as the original and have no way of finding out what has happened. Can you help me with this? I published in Google docx 5.5 x 8.5 paperback. I am getting an error message error code 29001

How can I transact money with sales ? ( Rohitha Dissanayake / Author )

Hello Richard, Thank you for your video. It was incredibly instructive and provided valuable step-by-step instructions for publishing on Barnes & Noble Press. I still have one question that I hope you can answer: By publishing the paperback version of my book on the Barnes & Noble website, will it automatically be available for purchase in their physical stores? Thank you for your help!

[@agirlnamedgoo-007]

No, self-publishing through B&N Press is online only. But if you have a local mom&pop bookshop who wants to sell your book, I *think* you can use B&N as the publisher and the shop as the distributer.

[@oyubeut]

Very clear. Unfortunately it seems that Barnes & Noble is off limits to me as I live in Spain.
