Carole’s comments from the Navigating Indieworld Discussing All Things Indie group.

When you are an author, reading is like homework- I like to read how other authors tackle subjects or spin a story- I think it helps us find our own voice.

When you write a review about it- you sort of pick up things that make you think about your own work.

Good luck, Alex. Congrats, Margaret.

That was cute, Dale.

I enjoyed that, Erica. Some great advice.

Great article Sam

I'm sorry to hear that CL. We've missed you.


RL - I don't know where to put this- MJ Woods lost her mom this week- she asked me to let all our group know- she didn't want anyone to think she hasn't been active.

All healing thought and love to our friends on the thread that have suffered losses.

Thanks, CL!!!

I don't trust them. I think they'll just give no warning that I won't have print anymore. There is probably fine print somewhere keeping them safe.

Yep- but I they said they are moving the files either way by Nov or dec. That means if they can't go live- they'll let the book go out of print.

I have to hop on it now in order to keep them in print.

It's for the interior. I am so annoyed.

Can't wait

Well, I bought it already!!!

I thought of that already- No the files were fine- except the covers all had to be redone- on every book we had. Ben Jackson's wife did a lot of that for me. She's amazing.

UGH! I contacted the artists and now I have to see if they'll add a quarter inch to each page.

Yeah- it didn't work for me- The templets are not compatible and I have to redo everything.

Hi guys,

We did a little exploration and found this video and link that goes through the steps to transfer your book from CreateSpace to KDP!

I hope this helps!

Best,
Carole & Britt

yep- smart cookie.

So, I got this note from some guy who publishes audio books.

He said he'd pay me 100 dollars to publish my audio book on his site. I don't have audio books for my kid's stuff. I tried to make one once and audible said they were too short to be published.

Jeannie Chu suggested I make audios of my books and put it on my blog (thank you Jeanie!!!). I did and saw an uptick in paperback sales. I was going to do the pirate series since they sell the least. Then this guy wrote and asked if they paid me the 100 would I post the audio on his site. I get 60 percent if they sell the audiobook- so I figured- I have nothing to lose.

"The book is still published with the same ISBN at Amazon and Ingram."

That book is a Bowker ISBN or Createspace ISBN?

That was exactly my question- I couldn't' remember what I did with the books with the non Createsapce ISBN.
