    It's extremely easy if you're not 71 years old, having started your novel with pencil and lined paper. It took years. It's damned good. I'm just going to hire a young person to do the hard part. At least I know it can be done! Thanks!

      I understand this message so much, I'm only 33 and I too still use line paper and pencil. I lived under a rock for a while, but now have broke out the shell and ready for the next step. Congratulations on your book completion 🎉

    This video will definitely be rewatched in the future. Everytime I finish a final draft, this will be my go-to guide.
    As someone who wants to eventually quit my remote work and become a full-time writer, this was so valuable!

      Another thing: I do not have - nor do I want - to use friends, family or followers for book promotion. Does that automatically mean that indie publishing is off the table?

Also, I found that there's a bit of a difference between ingrams park and KDP as well. So if you're going to use those different services, you're going to need different size covers. The person I got my covers from adjusted for the different services and no extra charge.

    Just starting out. Had friend to help me make a ebook but after viewing it, it wasn't edited correctly and it doesn't get me the ability to correct it. But would enjoy following your teachings. Thank you

    You definitely should have a million subs. Great info. Im fairly new at publishing myself. I have 3 books on Barnes and Noble, 1 on Lulu's store (their distribution services are very strict) Ive had 1on Kobo for a while with no luck. KDP terminated my account for no reason. So there is that.

    Thank you so much for this video! This was super helpful. What if I want to publish my book in ebook AND paperback? Do I need to do the whole process again for paperback?

      Glad it was helpful! I show this in the linked video where I show the paperback uploading process as well (it's in the description I think if you're interested) but once you have an ebook, it'll offer the option to link a paperback and fill in a lot of the same info automatically.
