Here is another one that I have made: When you design your cover keep in mind how it will look in the preview. I made a more pastel cover with a font with fine lines and no big contrasts. It looks pretty good in its original size, but now I have uploaded it and saw how it looks in the preview, I realised it doesn't look very good. You can't actually read the title on the cover and the design I have created is also barely visible. I think of redoing it, because I don't think it will sell that way

If they close your account is because they used the images of characters or brands and (When you close an account you can not open another one ever again). Regarding titles and other text things Amazon does not allow them to be published and you have to edit the text so do not use trademarks to earn more money because in the end they will close your account and you will not earn anything.

I think when using word to create a document for a book it adds in formatting code that you can't see and will mess up the formatting when you upload to KDP. Therefore it's recommended to use an alternative. The last time I created a written book, which was some time ago, I used Scrivener but I'm sure there are free alternatives out there.

I have taken all the key word advice; I have no series; I did not have any rejections -following your advice. But now...would love to hear from more people who have sold (how long did it take, journals seem to be pretty saturated)---also, how do we know the print quality? AND finally, how can we get more images of the work (showing the pages inside - for example - because even though blank - there is some variety offered by Gumroad. Also, showing the back cover for some of my own creations is good because the back and the front are different :) Anyway - thanks - great content!

However on both Kindle (Jpeg) and Paperback (PDF) manuscripts, the text from my exported "5 x 8" word document, is all over the place and certainly not suitable for publication. Do you have any idea why this may happen? I've spoken to Amazon and they are just as confused as I am!

As I understand it, the issue with creating a document in word is that it adds formatting characters into the text which messes things up. It’s been quite a number of years since I created a written book but I used Scrivener to prevent that problem. I’m sure there’s a simple workaround which I’m certain could be found with a search on Google or KZbin.

@@paulmarles Thanks for that Paul. I'll have a look at Scrivener & Vellum. Maybe I can copy the text into one of these programmes. Cheers!

Regarding margins, on a children's book, I am also the artist. My thoughts for simplifying the illustrations on the page would be to keep the important subject in the middle, then the illustration as it gets close to the edge, to be the least important. Question: Would this work regarding margins, less worry of rejections, or me being disappointed with results?

Trademarks are a real can of worms. First, you must check the trademark category then, if you check and it is not trademarked, it does not mean it won't be later on. Even more crazy for example, the image of the Eiffel Tower by day is in the public domain and can be reproduced without authorization. However, its image at night, with various illuminations, is protected and subject to prior authorization and payments of rights. Of course, the image taken by private individuals for personal use does not require prior agreement. So yes, even buildings, monuments can be trademarked/protected. It is a complicated subject!

Can you explain why my kdp amazon paperback book has more sellers than one? 2 or 3 sellers on some of my books, and they haven't even been printed yet!?! selling my book for very high prices, sometimes as used. AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN PRINTED! I'm sorry I'm yelling but i don't like the situation because I'm really confused. Is this legal? Can someone explain this to me? Thanks! Nice Videos your doing Paul! Keep up the good work.

Anyone can sell your book. They may buy your book and sell them or, if they get an order buy one of you and send it. It’s not a bad thing. If they get a sale it means you will get a sale.

Do you think ending my name in Book Co. would be an issue? What if it was typed together, like BookCo.
@paulmarles3 жыл бұрын
I suspect it might be. If you try it they will tell you if there is an issue. BookCo would probably have a better chance of going through but might look or read a bit odd.
