      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.
      
      I have plans. I'm reading:
 
 
 and 
 I bought a Kindle and evryfink.
I've also got
 and 
 on audible.Give me three years, I might finish something.
      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.
      
      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.
      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.
      Authors get a time slot during a specific day to post about themselves, their books and maybe run giveaways.
      
      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.
      
      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)
      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.
      
      I think D2D even did my contents page and my copyright page. It picks up the chapter headings automatically.
      
      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.
