Hello Paper Tiger! You seem knowledgeable and like such a nice person! This motivates me to tell you that it is very difficult to hear what you are saying, which seems a shame. It seems as if you are speaking very very fast, but actually apparently some digital software has compressed the audio time, eliminating all natural pauses after clauses and the end of sentences. You speak for twelve minutes without taking a breath! I suppose this makes it take up less digital space. Also the audio is quite distorted, and would benefit from a mic that is good quality and placed close to your mouth. It sounds like the very cheap and low quality internal mic that is on my Macbook. This is not helping your well thought out message. Thank you for the video, I have subscribed, and will try to decipher the video!

Trad publishing is killing its own structure slowly. If a book doesnt contain lgbtq or leftist policies, there’s a damn good chance it will never be published at all traditionally atm because that’s whats popular and selling.

So, I'm an author and an "AI Artist" (I have some real art skills.) And I've been using AI to create images for book covers. The thing is it takes me anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks to make a book cover, even using AI. You can put a lot into AI, or you can half-ass it. If you know what you're doing, you get characters that look more authentic than an artist who hasn't read the manuscript. And IMHO it looks better than a photo-bashed cover. But the big question is, "Is it ripping off human artists?" It certainly can be, but if you're using AI to create a unique style, one no human can replicate, than maybe that's an indication that it's not.

Hello, thanks for the informative video. I have my own ISBN I used to publish a book on IS. I am now looking to unpublish on there and republish on KDP. I understand KDP has a way to publish books which were previously published elsewhere. I've contacted IS already to cancel my title, so once they do that, my next step would just be to publish on KDP using the same ISBN, mark it as a book that was previously published, and then contact Author Central if the current Amazon listing (old one from IS) and new one (KDP reupload) don't combine? Is there anything I'm missing? Thank you for your time.

I am watching this a year later and let me say … it’s no better. I am on day 15. I guess I have another 20+ to go. Amazon KDP is the absolute worst customer service I have ever encountered.

will be following direct sale

Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this live Q&A, you should check out this author panel on using kickstarter to fund your audiobook: ua-cam.com/video/bihhjFMVods/v-deo.html

Serializing a book is a deceptive trick on the Customer and really needs to be rethought. Not all of us have the time to read page and pages and pages of material that goes nowhere and many of us don't have the money to spend in order to complete the author's sole book which consists of 3 or 4 parts with no endings and sometimes more. If one is going to do this, then indicate it in the text in the description.

This is an amazing resource for authors who are interested in using Kickstarter to fund their audiobooks. Awesome job putting this together, Delilah! And thank you to all of the authors for their wisdom and experience!

Do you know anyone that makes REAL hardbacks? The cheapest quote I got is $5,000 for 10 books!

Fantastic breakdown and analysis

Right. I put out 5,000 word chapters as often as possible on Amazon for .99 cents as part of an ongoing series. I got enough material to make at least 100 issues. Then I will wrap that story up and start a new one. Rinse repeat.

Thanks for this! You summed up all my concerns about Royal Road and confirmed that, yeah, they basically are true, lol. Considering going over but really just don't think it's my style of writing.

You had me until you checked the PST time. That means instead of this being 9 days you should have chatted or called them direct the next day.

Disagree with your review for 2 reasons. First, every email service is different- the author/preneur has to work with the techs. Second, this review is out-of-date- Book 2 dives deeper into detail. Third, the author has several very inexpensive classes and FREE tipsheets and UA-cam talks available. She is also one of the best human beings on this planet, willing to help as she is able. So yes, more than 2 reasons Newsletter Ninja is a valuable resource.

Thanks so much! I was worried about what the hardback would look like without a jacket. Yes, I like them to answer your question, they make a great bookmark! But now, I'm going to just order a case laminate.

I can't concentrate! Your adorable cat in the back keeps grabbing my attention 😭😍

Really interesting video! I have used fantasy map generators before to just mess around and have fun, so seeing the specificity of making it good for printing and self publishing was very useful.

You've been so diligent for so long lol well done!

just Found on your channel

I wish fancy adult full layout novels were more of a thing. There's a lot you can do in epub3 with javascript. Ebooks seem like a second class citizen to publishers compared to print books.

Oof holy shit this spoke to my exact fear right now. I have beta readers with book 1 as I edit book 2 and I’m like “oh… u like that…? Cool can you tell me how I did that?? Lol “ Thank you for putting this out there.

Finally, somebody who is saying the same thing as i have been.

Are you lying on a Totoro?! Looks so cozy 🥰

omg the minutiae about the layered images and providing proof....it's like death by insurance underwriting fine print! 😵

So weird, I hear your questions, but not his responses. He's totally frozen, and you're responding as if you can hear him... gremlins!!

I've ALWAYS had issues with their dust jacket spine alignment! For my last order it was the last straw, so I sent a complaint with a photo showing how bad it was and they were dicks about it. Told me it wasn't considered a bad thing. The fact is, it's hard to try to the realign the dust jacket because the paper is already trained to be in that particular fold. Maybe I should switch to Amazon...

Hello, great video! Are you able to update your release/publishing date when you submit revisions in Ingram Sparks? Thanks!

You are talking so much and nonsense, if you have to explain, tell me, I'm halfway through the video, there is no scribus yet.

finally watching this have wanted to for ages!

You're not the only one who has vibed their way to the end of a second book (or third or fourth or...) 😆 But, you know, we're writers - the strange, the inspiring, the artistic; everyone expects we have the weirdest writing habits or process, & vibing is hardly the weirdest one I've ever heard of. 😁

Omg! I had two of my composition books unpublished. I never received an email as to why. I only have 3 books on my site. I finally was able to send a chat and was told I would get a reply in 4 days. Still nothing 😫
