Fantastic! I am even more motivated to take your courses next year. Now I’m sweating through the heart attacks of publishing my memoir 😅 Thank you much for providing all these publishing education videos. I was just thinking about 30 years ago before all the online resources etc. I immigrated to the USA without any internet and email available to me. I love the modern times!
I appreciate you doing this. I have done it myself and I tell you it is not easy.
This was super helpful. Thank you!!
Terrific tutorial.
Incredible ❤
watching you from Bangladesh.
Doesn't the book cover file Layers have to be flattened through "Flatten Image" before making the cover into a PDF? Or save the book cover into a PDF book cover file while it is in the Photoshop layers format? Thanks.
Hi! In what format do you save the file? rgb or cmyk?
*What resolution should the image file be saved at? 150 DPI or 300 DPI?*
How do you save your guides? Thanks!
Hi Mandi, I dropped a comment on some of your other vids. Just wondering if Ingramspark supports a "french cover" or "french flaps" for paperback books? Also called a gatefold. If so, any experience with it and is it costly? Thanks, Jim
Does KDP allow social media handles?
i watched already like 50 videos nobody talk about size, my cover loading like 30 minutes and nothing , also nobody tell it must be page after page like a book pages or it is one list where both pages are available , is there any formatting required?
Draft 2 digital in order to have our book with them, they are asking for a picture of me & my license. Is this true?
That "page turn direction" kind of threw me. I get that you move through the book from left to right, but the actual page turns are taking the page on the right and moving it to the left... if I had been reading this on my own, I absolutely would have thought the standard western answer would be phrased as right to left. So confusing...
