Anyone else with your brain overflowing with ideas and things to do? Not sure if I should create the website, make lead magnets, finish my second book.. or make Content for social media ahhhhh! Who else feels like they have too many tabs open.. lol

Hi everyone - I have a few ebooks where I’d like the pages to dispkay in Kindle as a spread vs. one page at a time. I use Kindle Create and think I have it set that way, but when I view on my iPad in landscape view, it only shows one page at a time. Do I need to upload thise files with the spread as one image? Any suggestions are greatly appreicated!

Hi Everyone, Happy Saturday! I’d love to hear what’s actually worked for other authors/creators when it comes to growing an email list I already have a free coloring page lead magnet for my children's series The Sploot Friends, but I’m struggling more with the traffic side of things. Where are you guys getting the most email signups from? - Instagram? - TikTok? - Pinterest? - Etsy? - Facebook groups? - YouTube? - In-person events? And are you posting the freebie constantly or using other strategies to drive people to it? I have put a video out on my Instagram, Tik Tok and Youtube about signing up for my email list, but haven't had much luck. Would love any real-world tips or things that surprised you!

Hi Everyone! My mom and I recently finished and printed my first children’s book series (The Sploot Friends 🐶), inspired by my two corgis, and I’m now starting to think more seriously about distribution. I’m curious if anyone here has had experience with IngramSpark—especially when it comes to getting books into bookstores or libraries? I’ve heard mixed things, so I’d love to hear what’s worked for you, what hasn’t, and whether you’d recommend using it alongside KDP or another platform. Really appreciate any insight!
