Pre-release or not?
Just curious how you guys do it when self-publishing on KDP. Do you upload when ready and release immediately? Or, do you schedule your release? If scheduling, how long do you schedule it for? A month? Two months etc?

@Daniel Friday Yes. It's scheduled for release on the 22nd.
All writers & all genres welcome!
What genre is your current manuscript? Have you published before or will this be your first?

@Crystal Ewing Very sorry to learn of your son. It's something no parent should go through. My mother shares your pain as my brother also committed suicide back in 2014 and also my sister's daughter in 2023.

Heavy on the Edits
I'm currently editing a middle grade fantasy and an adult fantasy book. Question for the editors in the group: How many times do you go through a manuscript before sending it back to the author for the first round of edits? If you are the author, do you know your editors process?

I write, edit and design my own books. Merely because I know it's done the way I intended. I make sure I go through it numerous times before the final draft and read it at least twice before release.
Uploading a Paperback to KDP - Full Process
I screen recorded the process of uploading a simple paperback to KDP (edited down to 13 minutes). This was for a poetry book written by Astronaut Dr. Sian Proctor. We filmed this to share at a "how to publish your book" workshop at the Analog Astronaut Conference (AAC) held each May at Biosphere II in Arizona.
