Dreaming of Your Book on the Shelf of a Book Store?
I also have another video on the math side of this ... I'll link to that in the comments. :)

How many books have you sold?
Not trying to put anyone on the spot. Just trying to have a realistic expectation when my book launches. You don't need to be precise with your numbers. A range is fine: less than 100, more than 500, over a million....and how long ago have you launched? Lastly, what advise would you give based on your experience to someone about to launch his first book? Thanks so much.

@Sage Hobbs persistent. In 2015 I translated my first book into 10 languages. Wrote a second, which was a flop, but learned a LOT, then a third which was a massive success.

BIG Google Changes & ACX Royalty Changes Happen TODAY!
Did you miss the state of publishing today? Probably because it was a quiet one ... but it's worth catching up!

Front & Back Cover Opinions and Advice.
I just finished designing the front and back cover of my book. Was hoping you could give me some advice and opinions. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Nice! I'd reduce the "Tracking" value of the word BEYOND so that it's the same width as the word LICENSE. (I posted a picture of the tracking icon in InDesign). Maybe do the same for the sub-title so it doesn't get too close to the edge when the books gets printed.
