Just submitted to KDP

[purplepingu]

As the title, I've just submitted my first book to KDP. It's up for pre-order and now I'm suddenly terrified!

I've had independent beta readers read it, it's been edited and typeset and I've had the cover professionally designed.

The next step is pushing the marketing, getting some book bloggers to read it and hopefully get some people to actually buy it!

Hi purplepingu

Congratulations on your book submission, keep us posted on how things are going. I am currently considering this option for my novel too.

I think I would feel terrified, if I actually did it!

Can I ask how much you have spent on the production of the book, please p.m me if you are not happy to discuss figures here, I would be very grateful.

Congratulations! And good luck!

Hi, thanks for the comments!

Up to now the only money I've spent is for cover design. I've used beta readers and done the editing and formatting myself. I'll be spending money on marketing but I haven't chosen which way I'm going yet.

Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to reach out to bloggers and see if I can get people to read it.

Book two is written and about to be sent to beta readers but I just feel so nervous about people reading book one!

Congratulations, what an achievement!

Congratulations !!!

How have you found the process ?

Well done for doing it, hopefully I will be joining you soon :)
