I'm a teen in highschool and I've been wanting to use my poems to create a book but the way I was showed cost a lot. But thanks to you I'll finally be able to do it, Thank you so much, This will be my way of gaining some money to save up 😊
Please do say after published
@@hasna_pov i will!!!
This is sooo impressive... get started!!! I wish you massive sales.
@@hasna_pov?
@@diannesyme6392 thank you so much!!!
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 🎉
Well damn... now I want to read this book of yours!
That was a great lead in and I'm hooked!
Big J
This was great you're a great teacher.
This video made publish so much simpler than I thought it was. I can not wait to use it for my book when I finish it!!!
Yay so glad to hear it!
I'll be finishing my first novel that I started 15 years ago and I wasn't sure how to get started. When I looked into the cost I didn't think I'd be able to pursue. Then your video was recommended and omg, thank-you! I will be the first in my family to ever do anything like this! I am so excited! Thank you for the step by step video! Thank you so much!!! Just subscribed!!!
So happy to hear that, you’ve got this! 🎉
Thank for this video! You don’t know how much it helps, being an indie author starting this journey. Precise and on point!🙏🏼
So happy to hear that, thank you!
GIRL I CAN'T BELIEVE THOSE EXIST! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Very encouraging! Looks like I may be able to do this after all ! Thanks !
I have alot of ideas for many books, and it feels overwhelming . Im thankful for this.
Hi Bethany This is my first day researching self publishing and you helped to alleviate about 95% of the anxiety. Looking forward to watching your other videos. Thank you!
Yay so glad to hear that!
Thanks Bethany - great video! I will watch this again!
Bethany! You are awesome. I'm so glad I found your channel a few years ago. You are the reason I decided to give self publishing a try even though I have been terrified at times! I just finished the first draft of my debut novel, and I am using your videos to guide me every step of the way. I will definitely come back to this video when I am ready to upload it! Thanks for making easy to understand videos for us!
Thanks Elizabeth, that means a lot to hear!! 🥰
The exact guide i need!! Finally, i found a video, oh and i subscribed
You're videos are such a great tool to have! They're informative and gave me the encouragement to finish my novel, which I just released the beginning of this month. Thank you for all your hard work!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video. Really helpful!
Excellent tutorial. You're a star!
I am 12 years old and I've written so many novels by now but I didn't know how to publish them. Thank you for making it easier! ❤
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for all the information you provided. Great video and editing
This was very helpful! I'll have to remember to come back to it when I'm ready to publish. Ironically, I created my D2D account today (had to wait b/c I wasn't legally allowed to make one and then forgot for a couple months) and played around with a short story that I wrote. Your videos are so helpful and I don't know what I would do if I hadn't found your account. Also, I love your books and can't wait for The Secret Curse to be released!
Thank you for being so clear and detailed in your description about how to get published.. I knew it was an easier process than what other services had indicated. I feel confident and will publish by the end of February. Thanks again.
It’s the end of February, how did you process go?
Thanks for always helping!
Happy to help!
Thank you for the video, Bethany. It is the very first video I've watched on KDP and found it super useful! 🙂
You did a great job explaining the process, thank you Bethany!
This content is just phenomenal! You provide such a wealth of knowledge and easy to follow steps and techniques.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this! I wrote stories on Wattpad for years and started to desire publishing but just the very thought of the process was so scary to me. Now I'm looking forward to and even excited to finish my stories so I could one day do this. You're heaven sent!
thank you so much again Bethany you are literally giving me so much rihgt now including renewed hope and that is alot to give . may the creator bless you!
Hi Bethany, I've been wanting to self-publish but always had this fear. The way you laid everything out makes me less afraid, thank you ❤
Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video - your excitement is contagious. I'm looking forward to publishing my first book!
I've been working on a fiction fantasy book for about 6 months and I'm about halfway finished, but I already have everything planned out for the story. Excited to go back to this video when I finish it!
Bethany, this is very helpful!
You’re amazing. Thanks for these tools
This is such a wonderful overall guide! Thank you for sharing this information with us 😊
So glad it was helpful, thank you!
Thank you Bethany 🙏 especially for that shared enthusiasm 🙌✨💖
OMG!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE KNOWLEDGE!!!! ❤🤩
Ah, thank you!! I'm a Modern Foreign Language tutor and have had problems finding learning materials for teens & adults, so I've created a couple of books myself that I'm determined to share with other teachers and with students who are looking for practice materials or for lone learning. I'm very excited about trying all this out.
This is so clear cut and to the point, this video is well appreciated. As an Indie author starting my creative journey, this was just wonderful.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Hi Bethany! It was great to have refresher on how to publish a book. I didn't know that it was possible to use Draft to Digital to change an eBook to a PDF, that's good to know. Thank you as always for taking the time to put up great quality videos.
So glad it was helpful, thank you! :)
This is why I LOVE Bethany's videos! I feel like I should also thank her sister-in-law, Cassandra for the question :)
Love this comprehensive breakdown on the publishing process - it's so quick and easy with multiple options!
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!
Thanks, Bethany :)
Aww thanks Avi, I appreciate that a lot! :D
@@BethanyAtazadeh hello Bethany! I was wondering if you have any video on how to get your book in libraries as an indie author, I don't want to be traditionally published so I was wondering how to self publish and still have my book in popular libraries like b&n
@@BethanyAtazadeh Thanks - I didn't know this pathway was so streamlined. What is your take on traditional publishing houses in today's landscape, or market(?)
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?
Thank you again so much. This video was what I'm looking for after publishing my first book. I started a sequel, but I needed to find a cheaper way to publish the next one, so thank you.
Thank you! You are a great communicator and teacher!😀
Wow, thank you!
Fantastic. You are so helpful and precise. Thank you so much for such outstanding tuition.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much. This is a time, frustration and money saver. Watch this once then re-watch and take notes, folks. 😎😎💖💖
So glad it helped!
I am currently editing my first book and excited to find you. Your video made it seem like I can do this. I’ve subscribed so i can get more information. Thank you.
Awesome, glad it was helpful!
Really appreciate this
your video was very helpful I will definitely be publishing my children's book this year, thank you 😀
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! This helps a lot!
Yay! Glad it helped!
This is a wonderful tutorial. Thank you.
So glad it was helpful!
Super, super useful!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
So glad it was helpful!
This is so helpful! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great video thank you!!
I like your ‘judging a book by its cover’ advice. I’m not wowed by my covers and am so excited to have them redone this year by a professional service!!
Ooooh! Have fun!
This video is very helpful as I’m self publishing my book in may 2025. Will recommend this video for beginners looking to self publish their book.
Thank you, so glad to hear that!
Hey Bethany! I am so glad that you mentioned Draft 2 Digital. Even though I am an author still learning along the way.As I only published my debut almost two years ago! Now when I release my second book which is the sequel to my debut and volume two in my series.''Crime & Discipline'' I will know how to make an account and upload my file for my ebook. Thank you so much! For your tips, when preparing to release my debut two years ago. You and Mandu Lynn's Book Marketing for Authors series really helped me. I also plan on re-reading the marketing series as I am getting closer to releasing my second book!❤
Glad it was helpful, you've got this!
@@BethanyAtazadeh ❤
This video was great and extremely helpful. Thank you!
Yay so glad you enjoyed it!
Great video and something I have been looking for as I am ready to push my books into the world (republish and new books), definitely will check out your other videos, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot. It helped a lot, as I had bunch of questions and all being answered in this video. Thanks a lot. 🙏🙏
Glad it was helpful! :)
Thank you so much this is super helpful!!
Glad it was helpful!
I think your explanation was awesome. You have a great way of explaining things... I'm a fan. Wish me luck.
Thank u soo much now I will publish my book
I appreciate the education on the many options you can try out. Mahalo ❤🎉!
Glad it was helpful!
This was sooooooo helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video, Bethany!
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my Gosh! Thank You so Much!!!!

This was helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for your support it was super helpful.👍
Such a good communicator.
Thank you!
I can’t explain how EXTREMELY helpful this video has been! By far the best more informative video I have watched for book publishing. Every detail in steps, you have made very detailed & simple. Thank you very much!
Yay! So happy it was helpful!
@@BethanyAtazadeh because of your video, I was able to publish today my first book without an agent
Very informative video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This is so cool. I am still in the writing process, but I want to self publish eventually.
Thanks for your ideas and suggestions and great method for publishing own book for free. I am eagerly looking for this a long time. Thanks Have a great day 🎉
Excellent work.
Thank you!
Thank you so much; it's a great help! 😚🤩 My book will be published in the beginning of 2024, the 10th anniversary I started making scrapbooking interactive photo albums (scrapbooking book). Dominique
LOVED Indeed ..
Very helpful thank you
Glad to hear that!
This is a great video, thank you! One thing I do want to caution though, the cover dimensions for Barnes & Noble are different than the ones for kdp. 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.
Great video, thank you so much. I have only one question, if you want to format for ebook only, what do you recommend during the actual writing process? Is it easier to do some "preformatting" before plugging it into D2D? Or just basics like chapter headers and assorted illustration, and D2D takes care of most of it?
Thank you so much for this amazing video! Quick question - is your text file (the one you upload) formatted in any way beyond the pages / chapters you've included? For example, have you specified a font etc or does Draft2Digital do that for you?
Also, do you have any tips or videos on how to create (free) cover art for the book?
This was SO helpful! THANK YOU!!! Do I need to create a publishing house withs DBA to publish my books under that? Or how do you suggest to publish? Also, what if you have multiple businesses - and want to maybe do different publishing houses for each? Or do I do a main one? I will be publishing novels, self-help, inspirational, bible studies and devotionals, journals, planners, poetry books, & children's books...
What a great video!! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge!! I do have one question about print books. What if I want to get an ARC copy before it's actually published? Is that possible?
I love on our videos so much and I just did publishing it on my 26 publishing books on amazon
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I worked with a editor/publisher from my church and it cost me $2500 for them to help me and they used KDP. I have been asked to do an "uncensored" version of my story since it was dumbed down by my editor and was scared about spending another $2500 but now I can do it myself thanks to you :) I do wonder what your opinion is on my cover, since I am releasing pretty much the same book but with my graphic details do I need to change the cover or keep it the same?
Hi Bethany. I'm new to you. I love your info and I've subscribed. I will probably try KDP first. I haven't looked at it yet. But does my book that I upload have to be 1 giant file of my entire book? I'll have to watch your KDP tutorial. I can't imagine. Also I have questions about size. So much to learn. Thank you sooo much for your great information. Once I have time, I'd like to read some of your books. The series I'm working on is Sci-fan.
Thank Yoi
You ROCK❤!!!!
Thank you!
I'm a 10 year old I really want to publish a book about what I learned in my classes
Do it !!! 💖💖😎😎
I love this, do you ever give one on one sessions?
Thank you! And no, sorry!
You’re btful and wise girl. Someone is proud of you
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
Very interesting
Thank you that video is extremely informative. Just wanted to ask: How do I own copyrights of my book? What do I have to do?
Thank you for this very informative information. I'm trying to get my book published. I'm thinking of going through a publishing company being that it's my first book and new to this process. And as far as the editing formatting cover etc I rather leave that to the professionals instead of doing it myself. But I do wanna do self publishing because I wanna have control over my book. And most publishing companies you have to pay which I don't really want to. But they said that I will still have the royalties to my book
Would you be able to to recommend sites to get advice from professional authors etc
Great video and certainly really helpful for those who want to self publish books. 😊
I would suggest that in future videos, try to get the sound of your video edited (I was listening to it with headphones, and the background felt a bit too noisy at times).
You have a great sounding voice, so if you get that sorted out, you'll sound even better. If you need help with that contact me, I'll be willing to help out. 🙂
Thank you, I appreciate the kind feedback! Unfortunately, I'm not tech savvy and am a full time mom, so while I'd definitely like to learn more about sound quality, it's something that will have to happen slowly over time just due to always being behind on my work haha... But I'll make a note to work on it when I can!
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.
My usual is KDP, but I first tried Lulu just for printing, not publishing and sometimes still do it. It's the only one that cooperated when I tried to print a sort of proof copy for the first chapter of my graphic novel
That's cool to hear Lulu was a good option for you!
Great details explanation Bethany. Thank you very much! I have a couple of questions for you. I noticed there are 3 options for publishing a book, ebook, paperback, and Beta hardcover. Is the Hardcover option available yet? My second question is the following; toward the end of the video, you enter Grace House Press as your Publishing Company. I thought Amazon KDP was your publishing company. What's the difference?
Thanks
No problem!
Thanks for it is helpful
for people who english languge is the 2nd, we see you you speak quickly
Use youtube's slow down video option. I'm going to speak at my own speed, you can adjust the video.
I likeed all the comments and subscribed thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉
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.
Aww thank you so much! Hmm that's really odd, so sorry to hear that!
@@BethanyAtazadeh It's all good. I have other things I'm working on. I subbed to watch more of your videos though.
