I haven't been active here for a while because @Laura Diaz and i are working closely to produce a masterpiece which would be out soon. Just a check i hope we are having a great weekend

Just discovered that all books in my niche would get delivered by friday this week, if I order now. Even with Prime. BUT, my (best) book could get delivered already tomorrow (Wednesday). It is the only one in 5 pages I checked. Now hoping that many users will see this small advantage.

It took me a week to pull myself away from working on my books after a wellspring of insights at the London Mastermind. It seems that YouTube and communities are becoming less and less relevant as sources of information in a world where LLMs commodify knowledge. At the same time, for building mutually beneficial tools and finding new ideas, communities become more important than ever. It's the way the Guild will be developed - the place to make our publishing experience delightful. Together. Let me tell you about the major updates in the Guild: 💥 All resources temporarily become free for everyone, regardless of tier. Till the end of Q3. Why? Because the only way to create the best tools is to collect as much feedback as humanly possible. The wishes shared by @Yannick Di Mondo and @Sven Georgiev led to changes in the Guided Publishing System, prompting me to create books I would not have created without the system. I want to empower this feedback loop by making the tools available to everybody. 💲 What is the reason to keep the Premium tier if everything becomes free for a few months? In the short term, there are no visible reasons other than the willingness to show your support (and I cannot find the right words to express my appreciation to all of you who support my actions). In the long term, if you keep your $10/month subscription, it will pay off in half a year and then become profitable. Anyway, I hugely appreciate all of the Premium members' support. 💻 Fridays at 15:00 UTC online meetings are open to everyone. This Friday, I will share my ideas after the London Mastermind. It will be: 7:00 (PST) in Los Angeles 8:00 (MST) in Denver 10:00 (EST) in New York 16:00 (CET) in Berlin 23:00 in Singapore Any thoughts? Wishes? Ideas?

This is a Christian self-help devotional book formatted for Amazon KDP print. Here's what the project involved: → Title page — bold, elegant, ornamental → Copyright — scripture disclaimer included → Table of Contents — dot leaders, bold chapter names → Author's Note + Introduction + Letter to Reader → 8 full chapters with subheadings and scriptures → Devotional reflections, tables, numbered exercises → Conclusion + About the Author The entire formatting was completed within a day. The following day was used for proofreading, finalizing the layout, and making sure every detail was perfect before delivery. --- One thing I learned on this project — thanks to my mentor @Igor O who pointed this out: Instead of converting a colored image to grayscale for print, the better approach is to REDUCE THE VIBRANCE AND SATURATION of the colored image. This preserves more detail, gives better tonal range, and produces a cleaner result in print than a straight grayscale conversion. I didn't know this before. Now I do — and it shows in the final output. --- The client and I are still discussing the book cover. Once it is finalized and ready, I will upload it here as well. Drop any questions below 👇 Happy to help anyone working on their own formatting.

Here's another completed project — this one is a self-help psychology book. Sharing so you can see what professional interior formatting looks like for non-fiction. 📚 Kill Who You Were by Levi Thornehart Amazon KDP | Print PDF + Kindle EPUB What was formatted: → Title page — bold, minimal, publisher quality → Copyright — fully compliant → Table of contents — clean hierarchy with dot leaders → Introduction — powerful hook typography → Part openers — dramatic full-panel design with oversized chapter numbers → Chapter spreads — drop caps, justified columns, consistent leading throughout The design matched the book's tone — bold, psychological, no fluff. Both print PDF and EPUB delivered. Passed KDP first upload. ✅ --- Something I noticed working on both these projects back to back: Fiction and non-fiction need completely different interior design approaches. Fiction = subtle, traditional, immersive Non-fiction = bold, structured, scannable Most formatting mistakes happen when people treat them the same way. Drop any questions below 👇
