Hi, Mandi.... Good evening.. Is the course still available?

This is the best video I've found for getting the print requirements perfect when self-publishing to Amazon with Illustrator! Thanks Mandi 💫

Hi, i watched many of your videos on your KZread channel. Your all of work is really helpful and appreciated. Watching your work in my village in Tharparker desert area of Sindh Pakistan. We and our society needs people like you. Keep the good work up 👍 thank you

Thanks for that information. I am a new author and wondered about the costs of ISBN, and am now very happy that I live in Canada!

6:00 Adobe Indesign tutorial (to format a book)

This was an excellent video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it!

Thank you, dear Mandi Lynn!

❤thank you so much for this Guidance Mandi❤❤

I always change the View Setting for the PDF in Adobe Reader so that the pages appear as "spreads," exactly as they appear with InDesign. Very easy to do in Adobe Reader.

Your information is point on! You explain everything in such detail but in a manner that is easy to follow! But still, for me too much to navigate. So, how I do I find (or who do I find, their title) to help me to do all these steps the correct way (and when I say help, I mean hire)? I want someone local with your expertise that I could meet with face-to-face, or I guess in this age via zoom. Your advice or suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. My manuscript is complete, but I am at a standstill!

Very interesting video...thank you.

Thank you!!

Can I just write a book on Word and upload it to KDP? I don't have Adobe; I can't afford it, nor do I have a computer. I'm writing my book on a tablet and on my phone with a bluetooth keyboard. I don't have any graphics on the inside; only on the covers.

They have the same printing requirements, just a different trim size.

How do i publish a historical book of 700 pages when it exceeds the maximum kdp allows?

Thank you so much for your help. I am trying to design empty journals or Low Content journals using Canva and the KDP calculator. I have two designs that I have created in Canva. I used the KDP calculator to create the dimensions. Now I understand I need to create a separate file of the interior pages. They will be almost entirely lines that are blank for the person who buys the journal to write in. The KDP calculator created the dimensions of 12.6145 9.25. I use that for the cover image which is for both front and back cover. Now I am unsure of where to go next. I don’t have the file of interior pages done. When I create that file for the interior pages, do I use the exact same dimensions I use for the cover? The number of pages is 155. These are Low Content journals or empty journals. The dimensions I gave are for the cover. How do you think I can use the KDP calculator for the interior pages? Maybe I don’t need the Calculator. Is the math the same for the interior pages file as the cover?

Hey Mandi, I've downloaded your ebook series and I've been watching many of your videos. Thanks for uploading all of these helpful videos. I have a question: Can you do a video about preparing a Word document for upload into Indesign. I'm just about finished with my book, but I don't know what to do with the manuscript to get it ready for InDesign. Do you talk about this topic in the formatting course? Thanks

Hi, my text is in MS Word. My book trim size is 7x10, but it will have bleeds. In my KDP Book content page I will use 7x10. So in the calculator for the cover for Canva, should I again use 7x10 or 7.125x10.25? I take it the first, correct? I should only use the bleeds size 7.125 x 10.25 in the Word document for uploading PDF MANUSCRIPT, right? Thanks for your time.

i loved your video, cool bute i have prblem with my comic, do you can do a video of comic publish, iam comic maker, so its soo hard with trin, ect

Hello. I hope you and the new baby are doing well. I need to know more about Amazon author central . How do I put my book for sale on Amazon without using KDP. I Did not like the sizes the offer for children's books. I decided to print mine without Amazon. Can you help?

Captioning or transcript needed

I have a question, I want to merge my duology together but also keep them individual. Do i just need a new cover and ISBN and copyright since technically it would be a "new" book?

Thanks for that. Can I set and send my Amazon KDP book from a Apple iPad mini6? Rather than a full Microsoft/Mac. Thanks

I'm not sure to be honest. Possibly, but I think it would be much harder to format (assuming you can open the formatting software on your iPad). It's not something I'd recommend though.

Hi Mandi, I'm writing an instructional book on how to play pedal steel guitar. All my design and formatting is done in QuarkXPress. Can I output those as PDF files, then turn those PDFs into an Amazon self-published print book and also Kindle book? I'm just starting to research all this, thanks for you guidance!

QuarkXPress! I remember using that when the dinosaurs were walking around my house.

So you have a video on determining page size for your book? Also, how can you check all categories offered on Amazon? How to check books already listed on Amazon for their categories? Thank you! 😊
