I’m 12, and I enjoy writing short stories. I showed some of them to my ELA teacher, and she said that I should try self publishing, so this video helped a lot! Thank you! Edit: I’m sorry to everybody who’s been waiting for me to say that I’ve published, but I’m a really slow writer. I’ve decided to not go with the short story from school, and instead write a completely new book. This one won’t be a short story, it will be an average size book, so that is another reason why it is taking me so long to finish writing. I’m currently only 7 chapters into writing it, so this might take a little while. Also, thank you to everyone who has commented! It means a lot, and I wish you all luck. Edit 2: as I’m a pretty indecisive person, I just ditched that book and started writing a new one a couple days ago because I lost interest in the original. I’m currently a chapter and a half into this one, so we’ll see how far this goes. Sorry to keep everyone waiting for so long

I published with KDP and ordered Author paperback and hardback copies to help promote the Novel. I had to reorder three times, and still, the box of books arrived with absolutely no packaging inside each time. Every book was floating in the mailing box and damaged. It happened three times. There is no way of contacting KDP with photographs of the damaged package and the damaged books. All I could do was return the books. So, I then published the novel with Draft2Digital. Their author copies arrived in tightly packaged boxes and in mint condition. Their printing is also quite superior to KDP - and they publish to many different outlets - including Amazon. Will I ever use KDP as my primary publisher and printer again - not likely! The last box of books I had to return forced me to cancel a full-on pre-booked promotion and left me with seriously diminished credibility. I trusted Amazon - they let me down big time. They cost me real income and a decent promotion and credibilty.

Hey, Mandi! I left KZbin on autoplay and listened in on this tutorial. Nice job! At 16:34, you mention the ISBN and Publisher spot for ebooks. Did you know you could enter a publishing name and it'll replace the "Independently published" tag? Just a random fact. Now you can add Stone Ridge Books to your listing. I'm not sure it'll give you any huge benefit other than impressing the one random person who pays attention to imprints of ebooks.

I uploaded 2 books to KDP in early December of 2023. They were held in "review" until early March when they both showed the were both in "draft". I made the minor corrections requested on one of them and the other book actually requested no changes. It's almost April now and both books are languishing in "review" again! KDP offers no explanation for this delay and they have sent me almost 15 emails saying they don't know why it's taking so long. Oh!...in early December I uploaded the exact same files to Barnes and Noble and both books went straight to print...I have them right here and they look fine to me. In the most recent conversation with KDP, I was told it's a world-wide problem with the review process. I tend to doubt that.

Hi Mandi, I have a super important question, and I hope you have time to answer. In a nutshell: How can I have a KDP account through a separate Amazon business account without KDP shutting me down for having "two accounts"? Important Context: I previously have gotten on KDP, (thus "created an account") with my personal Amazon account just to see how it worked. Much later I learned that it was better for a self-published author to run his business as a business, and I founded an LLC to publish my books. Still more recently I've heard that Amazon will shut you down for having two KDP accounts for the same person. Now I was about to start the process of starting a separate Amazon business account for my soley owned LLC, and of getting a KDP account for that business. However, I am now worried that KDP will shut me down when they learn that I have this other KDP account (through my Amazon prime credentials, where I only buy and have never sold, and have never published any books.) However, from what you said around minute 2:20, it appears that you DO have a separate personal KDP account that you only use to mess around on, and that they haven't flagged you for it. I have reached out to KDP, but got an unclear answer. They seemed to say I'd be okay having a new KDP account to go with a new business account, because they'd be seperate entities, and yet since I'm also a sole member LLC, I wonder if this really applies to me. Could you please tell me what you do? How do you properly arrange it with Amazon and KDP so that you have a real KDP account that you publish through, plus this other account that you poke around on, without getting shut down for having two accounts for the same individual? I know this is a long question, but I've done so much to get to this point, and I'm worried I will break the rules by accident, and be stopped in my tracks. Please explain! I'm much obliged.
