Final Steps After Publishing Children's Book on KDP

[@peachtea7202]

I’ve watched so many different videos on how to do what you just taught me in this series and none of them compare to yours. It’s like you knew exactly what questions I had. Other KZbinrs spoke about this stuff as if I comes second nature but you’re videos are perfect for beginners like me who have no idea what to expect from this process. Thank you so much 😊.

[@HeatherCashArt]

Aw thank you so much!! That is so great to hear!! And you're so very welcome ☺️

[@hansendesigns]

Yup this.

[@FaithfulFootsteps_]

Thank you so much Heather. I pray God blesses you and everyone that is writing and wanted to but couldn't find their way.

[@jessalinburchette1549]

Your videos are great! They helped me navigate the KDP process. I didn't know about the author page and the look inside enabling were both even more helpful! Thank you!!

[@HeatherCashArt]

Aww so glad you like my videos! Thank you for your kind words ☺️

[@miramaslo]

This is very useful info, thank you!

[@HeatherCashArt]

You're welcome, so glad you liked it!

Muchas gracias ☺ no sabes cuánto me has ayudado, de hecho en español no encontré ningún video que me explicara paso a paso cómo crear desde cero un libro que Dios te bendiga gracias por compartir tus conocimientos

You're welcome!!

Heather, Love your art work.

[@carolynlarson7908]

Hi Heather, thanks so much for all the many excellent videos. You mentioned a blog in this video. Do you have any tutorials on how to start and run a blog? It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but have had a hard time finding a step by step tutorial that explains how to do that and integrate it with books I’ve written and maybe other products like digital offerings, etc. Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@HeatherCashArt]

Hmmm, I don't have any tutorials on that at the moment. Do you have a website? If so, what platform is it on?

[@carolynlarson7908]

@@HeatherCashArt no I don’t have a website yet. I’m truly a beginner and trying to learn everything I can. I love your videos because they offer learning in a step by step approach that is easy to follow and that helps so much. Thank you.

Hi Heather! Thank you for all your clear information! These help me so much! One question: Is this available also for the cover? I uploaded a composition notebook but it only shows the front cover, not the back one too. I am a beginner and I have just started to learn about KDP.

[@HeatherCashArt]

Hi! Usually the back cover will show as one of the images in the KDP listing. I wonder if maybe it doesn't show for low content books? I'm not sure. But also, you can add any text or images you want further down in the listing as well! Here is my tutorial on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amTIXqhuh7yHipI

[@eleniantoniou8287]

Hi Heather, can we request which pages can be previewed? you added 80% for yours, mine is a journal so low content..just to make sure that the pages Amazon previews to customers are not just random pages, as 80% of the pages in my journal are the same (drawing pages) hope that makes sense! Thank you for your help through my first publication ‘My Picture Diary Playground’ !! 🙏🏼❤️🦋

[@HeatherCashArt]

Hi! Unfortunately you can't choose specifically which pages are shown, BUT you can add custom images to your listing so you can drop those images in yourself!! Check out my video here where I walk you through that process 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/amTIXqhuh7yHipI PS: I searched for your book on Amazon and couldn't find it 🙁 Is it live yet?

[@eleniantoniou8287]

Hi Heather Thanks for your speedy reply! It’s ‘In review’ so hopefully should know by tomorrow as it says it can take 72 hours .. watched your video ‘final steps after publishing’ I am presuming ‘look inside book’ option is once my book has been reviewed?

[@HeatherCashArt]

@@eleniantoniou8287 yes LITB is after it goes live. But the new video about custom images isn't in "Final Steps After Publishing" because I didn't find out about it until much later! So be sure you watch that other video I linked to in my previous comment!!

[@artfulinspirationsbysue126]

Thanks!

[@HeatherCashArt]

Thank you so much Sue! That was so sweet of you!!

[@ErikaSombolinggi]

I tried editing the "look inside" and there is a pop up that says "We're no longer accepting requests to adjust the percentage of a book's reading sample. You may contact us if the book is not appearing on Amazon or if you need to remove spoilers from the sample." :(

[@HeatherCashArt]

Ooh wow that's so weird! Well that's ok, you can still show some of the inside of your book using A+ content! Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amTIXqhuh7yHipI

[@raynakerber1449]

My book is published but it still says promote and advertise . When will it say author copy ?

[@HeatherCashArt]

Are you sure you're looking at the paperback and not the Kindle ebook? Send me a screenshot at [e-mail]

[@metalkingtohorses]

you have to email them to set it back to order author copies or it won't let you, they fix it right away.

[@TheMusicgirl78]

Is there an option to have a hardcover?

[@HeatherCashArt]

Yes, but you do need at least 75 pages for a hardcover book.

[@PrintPraySlay]

Can you write on the colored pages or are they kind of glossy?

[@HeatherCashArt]

They are kind of glossy but you could use a ballpoint pen or a sharpie. Maybe just not a pencil.

[@PrintPraySlay]

@@HeatherCashArt thank you

[@eleniantoniou8287]

Great question ! As my children’s book is a picture diary for drawing pictures… so will have to mention this ! So sharpies good! Thanks for comment 🙌👍❤️🙏🏼

[@metalkingtohorses]

does the author page cost money to have ?

[@HeatherCashArt]

No definitely not
