    Thank you so much for all your help on my publishing journey. When I first found your account on YouTube, it was like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Thanks to all your helpful advice and content, I published my first book at 14! I really appreciate all that you share and how you inspire others to follow their dreams.
  • @artworldclub3395
    Thank you so much! You explain things in a very familiar and "easy to understand" manner. Your videos are so helpful for self-publishing ☺️
  • @zipfslaw3771
    Thanks for this video. I did not realize before I watched it that you can order a proof copy—that makes me feel a lot more confident about the whole thing!
  • @nstix2009xitsn
    Thanks. Good, clear speaking voice, good clear acoustics. I was afraid going in that amazon was charging to publish books, beyond what Mandi Lynn mentioned, but she put my mind at ease. Now, I just have to get past the amazon censors!
  • @destresswithyoga
    Have you noticed any increases in Amazon fees since the pandemic? So many things have gone up. Great info!
  • @amandaguzman3723
    Thank you so much!! I am hoping to publish to KDP soon and your video helped so much!! Also, 🐀
  • @sfckriswhamiltonusaretired4015
    Very informative! Thank you for your version of "Self Publishing for Idiots." 😆 I'll be checking out the rest of your videos because yours was slow enough and not jargon loaded. I could take notes or stop the video in time to do so. I see there are hundreds of vids about this subject but my military mind tells me to just stick with one that seems qualitative and informative at a pace a retired 62-year-old man can follow. Thank you again!
  • @ChrisMusante
    Thank you, and like... GIANT HUG! Hope you are not only fine but dandy too in this whacked out world. Shalom.
  • @supernaturalwriter
    I tend to run into a lot of tech issues in general. I'd be pretty nervous to go with a company like ingram spark when it seems like you can't contact them easily.
  • @DogmenHardcastle
    I'm bummed by your ingramsparks experience, because I felt like they were the one for my upcoming book, but is it all "preorder" stuff? I wouldn't be interested in that anyway.
  • @rossi23rdsub
    Thank you for this brilliant resource! Was wondering, when you mentioned the cost of hiring a cover designer, editor, etc. Are these add-on services provided through the KDP self-publishing process, or do you have to hire them seperately?
