    Heads up - The video mentions the 7 day challenge is free but that promotion ended. I just filmed this video 2 months ago.
    For the past 2 months across 9 videos I warned people that the challenge will stop being free soon so get it while you can. Thanks for understanding.

      Even if you recorded this video two months ago it would be fair to write in the comment: As of today: Write and Publish... is paid: so as not to mislead people. Gentle correction.

    Thank you for your thoughtful review, Sean!
    I’ve taken your feedback to heart and have already updated the eBook subtitle, correcting the error and making it clearer. As for the target age group, I originally based it on my own children, as this book was initially created for them. However, it has since drawn interest from a broader audience.
    The cover illustration has been updated with a stunning new design by a professional artist, and a designer will soon finalize the cover's layout. Meanwhile, the artist is also working on a set of fresh illustrations to replace the older ones.
    The translation has gone through several rounds of improvement, as I’m not a native English speaker. The book was originally written in Ukrainian.
    Sales have been modest but steady, with a few copies sold every few days. I’m also excited to share that work on the second book in the series is already underway. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback!

    Hi Sean, thank you for taking the time to teach extreme beginners such as myself. I am currently working on my first coloring book. It is a challenge but I'm up for it. I know that I will learn a lot, especially listening to your advice. I wanted to launch it at the end of this month, however I am definitely on a learning curb and will have to push that back a bit. Do you have a video or some advice about how to do an audio book? Just curious....thanks.

    When I finished the 7 day book challenge, I published the e book, which was approved by KDP. Then I really battled with the soft book cover, especially the spine wording and I could not get it right. I even went to the KDP community for help. Then KDP terminated my account based on a number of accusations like I was doing excessive reading and book content violations, while they approved the ebook. I lodged my defenses explaining the problem with their cover creator. I had and even submitted my discussions with the KDP community as evidence. They still maintained their stance and my account is still suspended. What can I do?
