Missing pages
Hi! I'm new to this page. So, I ordered my proof from KDP and 4 pages were missing!!! Any advice other than emailing them and getting another?

Sorry I’m not helpful at all. I got a good proof, but I scheduled publishing for yesterday and I found it in Draft! I published it yesterday again and it said In Review. And this morning it’s in Draft status again. :,( Hopefully, your new proof turns out and hopefully I can get the hard copy live…! Good luck!
So I set up a yard sale today to see if I could sell some books...
I sold 6! With the help of my kids of course...they started walking around asking people if they wanted to buy their mom's book 😂 Gotta love their enthusiasm!

Great idea! In-person selling is the best and I’m sure your kids were impossible to say no to with that enthusiasm! ;)
Free eBook Sept. 25-29, 2026: “Elisa & the Elusive Tooth Fairy”
Hi everyone! I guess it’s my turn to come in here and see if anyone would be interested in reading and reviewing my free eBook, now on Kindle! 🙏 It is called “Elisa & the Elusive Tooth Fairy” 🧚🏼 I would be so grateful. It’s a bit longer - a bedtime story perhaps - for ages 5-9. Thank you so much in advance! 🤗 🔗 Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJMJCVN7 Free Sept. 25-29, 2026 ⭐️ Thank you to @Harleigh Manske for all your guidance so far. The podcasts have been so motivating and it really has inspired me to overshare with friend, family, and coworkers! ;)

Thanks Dawn!! I’m glad you liked it :) Yes, the book was designed for print - the eBook was a bit of an afterthought, but guided by Harleigh’s suggestions to get more reviews by giving the eBook away! I have no idea how I could fix the 2-page spread; any ideas would surely be welcome. :) Thanks so much for taking the time to read it and for your feedback!
It’s Live: My New Podcast Is Here! 🎧
My brand new podcast, Children’s Book Marketing Made Easy, is officially live! When I first shared that I was thinking about launching a podcast, I got such an overwhelmingly positive response from you. It honestly made me even more excited to bring this to life! Believe me, I know how busy you are. After a long day, the last thing you want to do is sit down and watch a full YouTube video. That’s exactly why I created this podcast, so you can still learn and grow your children’s book business in a way that fits into your daily life. You can listen while you’re driving, cleaning, walking… wherever. Each episode is designed to help you start your week with clarity and momentum, with simple, practical strategies you can actually use to grow your audience and sell more books. New episodes will be released every Monday! 🎧 You can listen to the first three episodes here:​​ https://authorharleighrose.com/ If you enjoy it, it would mean so much to me if you followed the podcast on your favorite app and left a review. That’s what helps more children’s book authors find it. I’m really proud of this, and I can’t wait for you to listen!

Exciting news!! None of the links are loading for me - I’m not sure if it’s because I’m based in Mexico… 🤔

@Harleigh Manske yay!! It worked from there - thanks!
Hello & ARC reviewer request
Hi everyone - New to this community, but have been following Harleigh's very insightful videos for almost a year! (thank you, Harleigh!) Looking forward to learning from everyone! I’m looking for a few ARC readers for my upcoming children’s picture book, Monster Trucks Stay Humble Too (launching April 7). It’s a gentle monster truck story for ages 3–5 focused on kindness, sportsmanship, and humility—designed especially for bedtime reading. If you’d be open to receiving a free digital copy and leaving an honest review, I’d love to include you! Just comment below or message me and I’ll send over the BookSirens link 😊 Thank you!—Renee (Kota Bear Books)

@Renee Smith review complete!! I really enjoyed the book! I didn’t write the following in the review, but just for your consideration - perhaps it would be a good option to introduce the characters (the character drawing) at the start of the story so kids can identify right away who is who. Just an idea of course and your book is so beautifully illustrated - well done! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/249663818 Finally - wow! I had no idea I could do this sort of pre-review. I will certainly try this myself when my book is to be published, so thanks for sharing! Best of luck!!
