Your video has fine content. Only thing is: you go so fast! "You can do this or this" and of you go and I'm still wondering what the options were. I would highly recommend to slow your pace just a bit, so we, the total newbies that don't even know what most jargon means, can latch on.

Can I ask you, are you going to pay the kdp if you choose paperback or hard bound, for printing or it's also free

Hi. I am currently self publishing my first novel. Your videos have been really helpful 😍

How's it doing?! 💖

Thanks so much for taking us through the process step by step. I've published with kdp before, but with little research, so now I feel way more prepared!

Thanks! Amazing tutorial! I have watched and studied many publish-your-book videos and courses. You cover, in a pleasant conversational way, many of the very basic basics that other videos, and even expensive courses, forget.

This is a really helpful video. Well explained, clear and easy to follow. You've talked here about so many aspects that are not mentioned in other videos - truly grateful for that! Many thanks.

That was so awesome thank you! I’m literally getting ready to publish my book. I was so hesitant about some of these things and a few of your other videos been amazing help! Seriously thanks again!

Thank you! I love you!!! This was the best video I have ever watched for instructing for anything. You are the best and now you will be my best friend for publishing!!!

Clear, concise, and to the point. High-quality video. I will subscribe! Thanks😊

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Absolutely top tutorial. Your generosity creates such good karma. My book is going up on KDP and Draft to Digital next week, so, for this author, this is a crackerjack tutorial and so timely. Much gratitude.

Wow! This was so helpful! Working on my first book and this was so very helpful. You are a blessing!

This was so helpful. Thank you so much!!!👑💖🙏🏾

This was excellent. I have previously published 5 ebooks but never a print copy. With the wonderful of your video I'm going to publish a print copy! Thank you so much!! 😊

This was absolutely amazing. Thank you

Great video with lots of energy from you.

What a great tutorial! You are clear, concise, and right off the top! Loved it. I've completed what I hope is a paperback from the title page through to and including a back cover. I now need a book cover, obtain an ISBN Number, determine a book price, obtain a Bar Code, submit to Amazon for KDP Direct Publishing. Everything you clearly described but I have writers fright and just can't move forward. I'll definitely be watching this video for a few more days! Maybe then ...

It's nice to have a straightforward video just showing the things you need to focus on to upload your manuscript. Plain and simple, and like you said if we want to learn more about extra things we can browse their videos. Again thank you.

Very useful, but definitely a video to watch in stages unless you want to have your coffeemaker close to hand so you can continuously boost your caffeine with an intravenous drip attachment!. Lots of concentration is needed. There is so much info delivered quickly, sequentially andcoherently for you to absorb 'on the go' unless you have a brain and memory the size of a planet. I suggest you bookmark (or download) this video AND that you take notes. (Thank heavens for the 'pause' function). Bethany covers everything in such detail that I filled 2 sides of A4 notepaper with info from her walkthroughs of e-book and paperback uploading. She includes examples of every stage of the process. Thanks for taking the time to do all this . . . I'm now off to wait for the caffeine to subside!

Thank you for all of this info! You are beyond inspiring. When uploading a paperback do you upload the manuscript without the Cover?

Nice tutorial. The interface has changed slightly since I published my first book last year. One thing did not realize was Amazon contacts KDP authors via the registered email. If KDP has any questions (which delay publication) it will be communicated via email.

Your videos are amazing and so helpful! I have a question regarding ebooks. Is it possible to have the ebook review link at the end of the ebook before the book is published? So ideally for all those in the launch party receiving the free ebook early? I’m having some trouble finding the if and how to that question ☺️

I love your way of teaching, very understandable regards. Please is description the same with Table if content

Excellent video !!! You have helped me with every step before I publish my first book!!! One Question on Previewer : I would like to know if I can select the content as I do not want to have first 10% of the book; instead I want a specific content to trigger Reader's interest.. Cab you please help? ---Thanks again!

Some great info here, thanks! It doesn't say what the website is exactly so had to search for my first try. Also, where do I find the royalties calculator you were using in this video?

Very good explanation of this process! I'm preparing to upload my first book to KDP as well, but want to get my own publishing company set up first, if it makes sense. But, I don't *think* that I'll be selling outside of Amazon (yet). So, what are the pros and cons of having your own publishing company? Is that required only if one also wants to sell outside of Amazon? I also plan to narrate the Audible version of my book and (hopefully) use their Whispersync feature to sync that with the Kindle version. Do you have any experience with doing that? Thanks!

Thanks so much

Hello, this is so helpful, thank you so much! Also, for a minor, is it still possible to publish with KDP or does it have to be under a different name and account?

Hi! Great video! I have a quick question pre-publishing. Did you create a specific amazon account before starting your KDP and ACX account or are you using as a professional self publisher you personal amazon account. there aren't many resources online and setting up shop is one important step. Please let me know your thoughts. Thansk!

Love your video, I just came across it,, how do you set up your own publishing company, yours is Grace Printing Press?

Hello Beth I have a question, what if I already have a book/books printed and ready to go. Do I still need to go through KDP because on the KDP tittle and content portion it asks for the dimensions of my book which I already have printed which leads me to believe they are the ones creating the books

Hi Bethany, thank you for the video, It's very helpful information. I am getting ready to publish my first book, I have question, if you don't mind. Did you upload your book content from ms formatting template by Derick Murphy or you convert into some other format first? Thanks.

Ebooks should be converted from a word doc to an epub file, and physical books to PDF files. I have a whole series of formatting videos if you need more info on that too! just search my name + format
