I've been looking into a better marketing strategy and found a service called AdZuri, KDP Consulting. Has anyone heard of them, or used them? From what I can see, they are impressive. They are AI driven, but I don't have a problem with that if it's only for marketing. Their prices are competitive. But I KNOW looks can be deceiving where marketers are concerned. Just want to see if anyone here has heard of, or used them.

I am very familiar with LaTeX/LuaLaTeX and the built-in extensions for EPUB (comes from my technical writing background), and I've since discovered Atticus (low cost) and Reedsy (free), which are both excellent alternatives to the LaTeX (free open-source but with a steep learning curve) workflow. What are folks' experiences here with the various formatting apps used for publishing?

In Tuesday’s Guerrilla Publisher video, I talked about why so many book descriptions fail even when the book itself is strong. The problem is usually simple: the description summarizes the book instead of selling the experience. Your reader does not need a report on what happens. They need to feel the sun on their skin and see the water before they ever board the plane. I've created a workbook that will help you do that. Inside, you’ll find: - The complete four-part book description framework - Separate fiction and nonfiction guidance - A 250-character opening exercise - Before-and-after examples - Fill-in templates - A final diagnostic checklist - Space to build your own publish-ready description The goal is not to make your description as accurate and detailed as possible. The goal is to make the right reader recognize that this book is for them because they want the experience it will give them. Download the workbook below and work through it section by section. Your book description should give readers a glimpse of the destination—not a synopsis of the journey.

I'll go first... Today is our chance to share something we’ve learned from the publishing process that might make another author’s journey a little easier. It can be something that worked beautifully, something you wish you had done differently, a resource you found helpful, or something you’re still figuring out. Editing, proofreading, book covers, formatting, ISBNs, copyright, KDP, IngramSpark, ebooks, printing, distribution, launch preparation, hiring publishing professionals—it’s all fair game. Tell me in the comments: What is one thing you’ve learned about publishing that could help another author? You don’t need to be an expert. Sometimes the most useful information is simply: “Here’s what happened when I tried this.” Let’s help each other publish smarter!

I'd love it if you could take a look at the book description for my memoir and let me know what you think.
