Pricing
Would the goal be to have your Ingram retail price and your Amazon retail price the same, except for maybe temp changes to Amazon price if you want a short term sale?

If you put the price in your bar code, as I did, then you have to have the same price.

Ingram paper
For my book about treating digital addiction, I want it to be professional looking. Should I choose the 70lb paper? I don't want there to be any see-through that might happen with the 50lb. What has been your experience?

It all depends on your budget. I had to choose 50lb because 70lb was a big jump up in price. I have lots of B&W photos and charts in my book, so I was worried about it. It's not perfect, but it looks fine. If you can't afford the 70lb and you don't have heavily saturated pages (my photos are here and there), it'll probably be alright.

Thoughts on cover
My last 2 published projects were sci-fi novels, and now I am back to NonFiction. My latest project is a biography of my father. Here is a snippet about the book. I would love any feedback on the cover. Thanks! Good Cop Dad Cop is the true story of Sergeant Jim Mildon, a beloved Twin Falls, Idaho police officer whose greatest legacy wasn't the badge he wore—it was the lives he touched. Part biography, part small-town history, and part collection of unforgettable stories, the book follows Jim from his mischievous childhood in the 1950s and 60s, through military service, ambulance work, and a 31-year career with the Twin Falls Police Department. Along the way are humorous pranks, dangerous police calls, championship coaching seasons, acts of quiet generosity, and countless moments that earned him the respect of an entire community. Told through the eyes of family, friends, fellow officers, and the people whose lives he changed, Good Cop Dad Cop is ultimately about character, service, fatherhood, and the lasting impact one ordinary man can have on an extraordinary number of people. It is a celebration of a life well lived and a reminder that the greatest measure of success is the difference we make in the lives of others.

Sounds like a lovely story and one that people will want to read. I like the cover in general, but overall there's kind of a dark cast over it. The patch is a bit dark for example, perhpas a bit out of focus. I would just brighten it up a smidge, I think that will make it more appealing to the eye. Otherwise, I really like it. Congrats!

The Challenge We've Found with AI Facts
They SOUND SO TRUE .... but they often are just a tiny bit false! And that is the problem.

Gemini recommends my book with the right keywords, so I'm happy about that! But I've never used it for writing.

It's great for simple questions: Find the most recent research studies on injury among massage therapists. It'll give me a list of real studies. But I wouldn't ask it about things where reasoning is involved - it's not yet at that point, IMHO.

My Subscription has Not Been Set Up Correctly
@Shane Vigeant Hi again, Shane. I see that I also don't have access to Author Launch Kit. When I paid during the Summit (one of the first 5 to sign up), I was told ALK was included in the $1897 I paid. I take it you're kind of the tech guy - could you please get my subscriptions set up properly and let me know when that's completed? Thanks so much!! Lauriann😮
