Hi everyone my coloring Book was approved on KDP but I was wondering why only the printable version is available not the paperback. I did put it up for sale for $5 low royalties I know, but this is my first project and I want to get my foot in the door. Is that why Amazon doesn't have it for sale in paperback form ? If anyone knows why lmk thank you!

The last two weeks were unusually slow and silent in the Guild. I am not sure, but it feels like there was less activity in most of the communities I am involved in. Is it just my perception, or have you experienced the same? Anyway, the Guided Publishing System is now built and fully operational. I am in the process of creating the new book with the system, and it works exactly as it was supposed to - "blank page syndrome" gone. Every time I come back to the book, I know exactly what the next step is. The same thing applies to the Review Catalyst tracker - it removed a lot of hustle and ambiguity from the process. I used the Paperback 3D Mockup for the A+ content for a few of my books, and it totally changed the experience of creating marketing materials. I am not sure if it's interesting to anybody except @Yannick Di Mondo, @Sven Georgiev and me. Anyway, it's OK for me to continue developing the tools, even if only three of us will use them. Slowly, without a rush, providing functionality that publishers are interested in. So, what is on your mind? What are you doing now? What are you aiming for? P. S. @Ana-Rita Piirainen It's so nice to see you back!

Becoming a bestseller doesn't necessarily mean selling hundreds of books a day. In this material, I break down exactly how Amazon’s ranking system works and how we can increase our chances of earning that Bestseller badge. Is that something that you've been doing already with your books?

Imagine you are creating a book about decluttering. If you hired two cover designers and gave them a task: Create a cover for a book about decluttering with the title: "Decluttering Made Simple. Subtitle: Practical Strategies to Organize Your Home and Achieve Peace from Clutter in Less than 10 Minutes a Day. By Kate Hansen." Designers returned with their concepts. What offer would you prefer as a prototype to continue with? Your ideas about the quality of designs? Cast your vote for the set you like better. ----- ⚠️ If you recognized some designs, NO SPOILERS please.

Have anyone tried converting their book cover from ebook to paperback, hardback, acx using AI? If so, what tool did you use? And what was the result?
