Have you published through Barnes & Noble Press? Let me know what you think of the quality of their books and if you had the same experience as me! Watch the entire Beginner's Guide to Self-Publishing a Book playlist: kzread.info/head/PLZpcZ9u8pb_pKpY16m-y82w696YVy93D-

Thank you so much for your videos. I’m helping my wife publish her first novel for the fall of 2024. It’s a paranormal romance and where to publish and in what format is important. Thanks again!

You are amazing this is my first book! I am just trying to figure this whole thing out and you are on top of it! Thank you so much Mandi Lynne! ❤

After spending a lot of time, I think it is safe to say, that getting paid more royalties is where it's at. Writing a book of at least 300 pages takes so much effort. Cashing in is the best way to pay for hard work.

New subscriber! I'm helping my friend "Afghan Cooks" decide when and where to publish her Kickstarter cookbook. This channel rocks!

Thanks! This was very helpful! I'm very excited and nervous as I continue to do research to get ready to print my first book! 😁

Thank you for posting this!

Thank you. That works for me. Let's start with the soon.

Great Video! If you have an updated video on comparisons of self publishing companies, where can I find it?

Can you tell me what font do you use and how you got straight commas because mine are curved and the option in my word document are only for inverted commas

what paper did you choose ie I noted they had 50# and white and cream? Also, is there a way to get proof copy or advance copies for review and how does this work with Amazon exclusivity clause.

Great video!

Thanks!

helpful video, thank you. What is you aren't interested in having artwork on the cover? Is there a place that does books that look sort of like library books??

You can always hire a cover design to create something like a classical book cover

What considerations are there, if any, for printing a book that was previously ebook-only? Is it okay if you're just starting out and want to do ebook first, then think about printing later? Or is better to try and do it all in one go from the start? Also, if you decide to make your own LLC down the line (to me it seems sensible to wait until you are earning a certain amount at least), how does that affect your backlist in terms of publisher info on the listing? Can you update it then? Sorry for asking multiple questions. I've done searches on these topics but the information is a bit overwhelming.

Hey, how did you format your book? I’m currently writing a book on Google Docs but it doesn’t allow me to add my book title to one page and name to the other when it comes to headers, it only lets me do one or the other.

I use Adobe InDesign. I teach how to format here: bit.ly/formattingcourse

9:07 were you able to select the color for the inside cover/case laminate? Or is that dark/navy blue the only option they have? Thanks!!

If you upload a custom case laminate you design, then technically it can be whatever design you wnat

Do you have to upload separate files for your paperback and hardcover books with Barnes and Noble Press? Or can you use one interior file and one cover file for both?

Hey, may you tell me if the hardcover books are able to stay open / lie flat on their own? That is my biggest concern with Print on Demand services.

They don't. They're on the stiff side

@@MandiLynnWrites Thank you for letting me know. Do you know of any print on demand services that offer a better quality hardcover binding that isn't so stiff?

I just wanted to say thanks for the info. I would also say I consider KDP's new printed cover - hard cover is pure crap. I got that same proof that has the band saying "not for resale" but that's okay because I wouldn't sell the proof copy anyway. But the cover was warped right out of the box. It's just a piece of cardboard and the wet printing ink makes it curl up and it gets worse as it ages. I will buy all of my hardcover books from Ingram Spark or a private printer. The KDP no jacket printed hard cover and the B&N plain digital cloth covers are not worth the extra money. Get a digital or a soft cover unless you are a collector with a desire for a nicely bound book, printed with gold print on the spine, title and author's name and a nice dust cover.

My books came in the mail and the quality wasn’t good. I did everything correctly and made revisions. Can I get a refund? I am not satisfied
