@Andrea Maxwell Hello, I'm new here. I've written what I think is a short ebook. Now I need to sign up for Amazon KDP. I don't know what to expect on this journey and I've never been down this road.

Self Publishing Costs 💸
What was the most expensive part of your publishing process? What do you think you spent money on that wasn't necessary?

@Rebecca Phillips Just send you a direct message now
this what i rendering
For a typical ~70,000 page book without images, it's something like this, give or take 50% on each metric: $1,500 editing $300 proofreading $200 Cover $200 layout $100 Proofs $200 Software For a typical textbook 30,000 words with lots of images and diagrams $700 editing $1000 consulting $2000 image licensing $200 proofreading $1000 layout and cover design $200 proofs Note: These would be for Self Published titles destined for KDP / Ingramspark I'd say hiring beta readers too early in the process is something I regret spending money on. message me directly on my WhatsApp +17543392845

Proof Reader
Good afternoon fellow writers/authors, I need a little advice. I am wondering how much can I expect to pay for a proof reader? To have a collection of 30 comic limericks, approximately 2,000-2,500 words. There is so much info on the internet and it really varies, so perhaps some of you have personal experiences you would be kind enough to share. Thank you.

@Stacy Arnold That actually makes so much sense 👏 After a while you probably start noticing the difference between content that’s just “good” and content that truly connects with people because of the overall experience around it. Are you currently working on a book or author project yourself right now? And if so, what’s been the biggest challenge for you lately?

@Grady Hendrix I agree honestly 🙌 Communities become so much more valuable when people openly share ideas and help each other out like this. Have you found good support and connections here yourself so far, Grady?
