Theodore, bullying is an essential topic for schools and your books are important. Please remember that.

Do you already have an LCCN (Library of Congress Control Number)? I read somewhere it would help get your book into libraries, but don't know if it's true.

Thank you for sharing this valuable information, Theodore. I'm sorry you didn't receive a more receptive welcome. Hugs

Congratulations, Alex! Hugs

Snagged it, Amy! You did it right! Thank you! Hugs

Sorry for your pain, Amy. Yes, it is aggravating. Good luck with Nate and Day. Hugs

Oh, Alex, so sorry to learn this news. I understand your anxiety with hospitals. Prayers for comfort, health, and healing for your Mum and prayers for comfort for you while you worry. Hugs

Thank you, Carole. You are correct. Every state is different. Hugs

Thank you, Mary Ellen. I'm glad I'm not the only one against giving out my SSN. Hugs

I think there's some confusing information in the book I read. Thanks for the link, Erin! Hugs

This question is for those of you who have a sales tax permit to collect and pay state sales tax on the sale of your book. Did you use your social security number to obtain the permit or did you apply for a federal employer identification number? I ask this because I read that if you want to purchase copies of your book from Createspace or Ingram to sell at a book event where you'll be charging sales tax to your customer, you'll need to provide them with a sales tax exempt certificate to purchase the books without having to pay sales tax yourself. With identity theft being a rampant crime, it's one less place to expose your social security number. I agree with this thought, but wonder if there are any negative consequences of doing so, such as if I can still file my income taxes as an individual using my social security number. Does anyone have any information or opinion to offer? Thank you. Hugs
