ALWAYS sign your Children's Book! - WHY / HOW / PLUS: Examples
If you've ever sent out your beautiful children's book without signing it, then I encourage you to NEVER do so again.
We'll look at (1) why we should ALWAYS sign our children's book & write a personal message whenever we give or send our book to someone, AND (2) we'll look at lots and lots of fun and creative personal-message-examples and ideas to inspire us to come up with our own list of go-to staples we can use whenever we're sending out our own book.

    Hi Eevi. Is there an option to disable expanded distribution in B&N and wait to clear the system before trying to publish it on ingramspark again? I couldn’t find where the option for expanded distribution is on Barnes and Noble Press.

    • @EeviJones
      @EeviJones 3 дні тому

      Hi Hong! I don't believe B&N offers expanded distribution as of right now, beyond their own website + Nook. So if IngramSpark has informed you that your book is already available under your ISBN, you might have enabled expanded distribution over on KDP. If you would like to use IS's expanded distribution instead, you will first have to turn off expanded distribution on KDP, wait a few months, and they try uploading it again over on IS. I so hope this helps and answers your question, Hong! Have such a great remaining week!

    • @imaginetales_books
      @imaginetales_books 2 години тому

      @@EeviJones Thank you for your response. My KDP expanded distribution is not enabled. IngramSpark mentioned it was Nook LLC and that Nook is using the IngramSpark distribution system, or something along those lines. So, I just deleted my book on B&N and will wait until the ISBN becomes available again. Not sure if this is something new or not.

    When you refer to page counts, normally when we write things, one page counts as 2 because each side of the page is numbered. When you are referring to minimum page counts for book does that work the same way or does it mean that 1 physical page only counts as one page? I hope that makes sense.

Should I wait until they launch my other two versions first before I add the ebook version? Will the e-book version appear with my other two options? Also, do I need an ISBN number with the ebook? Thank you for all your help and encouragement! Angela

    • @EeviJones
      @EeviJones 11 днів тому

      Hi Angela! We usually won't need an ISBN for our ebook (ua-cam.com/video/mqkm8NI23hE/v-deo.html). As long as your different formats are set up under the same account, they should all appear on the same sales page over on Amazon. And whether or not you should wait or publish all formats together very much depends on your marketing strategy. Personally, I like to launch with an ebook option, simply because it is more cost effective for my launch team, and because it allows us to set up ebook promotions during the launch period. I so hope this helps, Angela! Happy launching!

    Is your book available as an ebook? I live in the Philippines and would like your book as a e book to immediately receive it

    Love your videos, Eevi! Couldn't have published my book without all your advice. The one thing I think is important to communicate about using KKBC over KC, a disadvantage actually, is that the pages will not rotate on the Kindle app so it will remain fixed in landscape mode on a vertical screen instead of rotating to a proper landscape view when the phone is held horizontally, which in my mind is a big enough reason not to use KKBC nowadays. Another advantage of using KC over KKBC is that the "Read Sample" will appear beautifully fitted and allow scrolling. I found that when I first published the book using KKBC, the double page layout would actually show 2 pages side by side, making it too small to read the text. If one doesn't have to add text, it seems like KC is the clear winner between the two softwares.

      Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. If we want to be able to view our book horizontally, it's important to select the "landscape" option during our ebook creation (minute marker 7:09 in the video). And instead of choosing the "two images side-by-side," we will want to make sure to select "one image at a time" and then upload our double spreads. That way, we can view our left and right side (double spread) in one image horizontally.

      @@EeviJones Hi Eevi, I did choose "landscape" and "one image at a time" - and it appears on the Kindle device as it should. But I still found that on the Kindle app for the phone, the double spread page will appear in landscape while the phone is held up vertically and will not rotate even if you rotate your phone to horizontal. So, you can image how small the page would be - just the width of your phone. I've tested it with other children's ebooks and found the same result for 80% of them. After researching KDP forums, I read that this is caused by using KKBC, which is outdated. Only when I republished the book using KC, the pages did rotate as they should depending on how I held the phone. So, for me at least, I chose the correct settings and still encountered this issue while using KKBC.

    Hi. Thanks for this video. Unfortunately as you say it doesn't work anymore. The one you refer to above wants a fee. Is there a free QR code that I can redirect so that I can put the link in my book and then redirect it to the review page. If you can let me know soon, I would really appreciate it.

      Hi Bruce, I did read your comment, which is why I took the time to respond to it! The provider featured in the video is no longer free, and has therefore been replaced by an additional option in the description. I'm sorry to hear this didn't help you.
