201765 Well I’m in if you pull it off.

201765 Yes keeping healthy-also trying to do that. I'm also planning to lose more weight before my holiday to Wiltshire where I will hopefully read a page or two of something.

201765 I have plans. I'm reading:

Where There's A Will (Inspector Stone Mysteries, #1) by Alex R. Carver
Bulwark by Brit Lunden
An Unwanted Inheritance (Cas Dragunov #1) by Alex R. Carver and
The Fibonacci Murders (Howard County Mysteries, #1) by Dale E. Lehman

I bought a Kindle and evryfink.

I've also got

Monsterland by Michael Okon and
Death by Wall Street Rampage of the Bulls (Martelli NYPD, #1) by Theodore Jerome Cohen on audible.

Give me three years, I might finish something.

201765 If it was a startup it wouldn’t have any traffic.

201765 Per book listing would have to come in well under £50-one off fee. Annual fee if it wasn’t a lifetime fee would have to come in at well under £100.

201765 Places like that claim to exist. I’ve never invested in them because I’ve never heard of them before. If it was a word of mouth thing that someone recommended and a start up I’d probably go to £100 one off. I’d think twice if it was going to turn out to be something that required me to spend several hours a day interacting on it.

I was scammed for over £400 in my other life so I’d never lose that much again. I’ve also lost hundreds in my other life to advertising that just doesn’t bring any return. I think I did £600 in 2016 for my other business that basically went down the toilet so certainly not that amount either.

201765 I hope she’s ok.

201765 Thsnks. I had to write it down quick before I forgot it. I don’t get much warning lol.

201765 I knew I read you’d already written something Sam!

I’d do a clean word doc too. Then even if you were only going to publish with Amazon I think I’d still use D2D for the formatting and front and end matter because they make it easy.
201765 Authors get a time slot during a specific day to post about themselves, their books and maybe run giveaways.

201765 I just used what the KDP template from Amazon had set.

201765 Oh no you write the whole thing in Word then upload your word doc to the system. I can’t be doing with anything other than word for writing books.

201765 I’d use that in dialogue and we’d all giggle.

Clapped your latest article Dale. I agree with everything you said, although it’s been almost 20 years since I interviewed anyone and even longer since I was interviewed. (Typing on my phone isn’t easy. Excuse any typos)

201765 I’d forgotten D2D did all those other bits. Have a look Sam, totally free to use. I did Missing Remnants on D2D and then uploaded what they did to KDP.
Jun 14, 2018 11:17AM

201765 Yes and yes. Brilliant find. I think Alex told me about it.
Jun 14, 2018 10:57AM

201765 Ah yes, ‘descriptions of trees’ as I call it. Nope. I write action.
Jun 14, 2018 10:56AM

201765 I think D2D even did my contents page and my copyright page. It picks up the chapter headings automatically.

201765 KDP accepts Word docs I think. So it’s not a problem. You can also download a blank paperback template from KDP and cut and paste your book into that when making the paperback.

Both Draft2Digital (for distribution to iBooks, Kobo, Nook etc) and KDP will take your document and more or less do the ebook formatting for you. D2D is very easy to use and will let you download different formats for uploading elsewhere.

I don’t know if that helps.
