I love the cover ! :O <3

Ahh the cover looks so good! I'm so excited for you! Great tips too btw, I've been thinking of creating my own publishing company but just hadn't researched it yet. Another great video :)

the cover looks amazing!!!

You are a godsend. thank you for taking the time to share your info. I am hoping to see your books in audio format soon. Keep writing!!!

Amazing!!!

having a book publish is great but the writing part is so hard

Loved the cover, your designer is really amazing!!

I literally fell in love with your channel!

Great videos, keep making them! Thank you for sharing your experience with the rest of us!

I'm so overwhelmed 🙄 (insert head thump on table)

great cover definitely appealing

Can you elaborate more on starting a publishing company in a future video? I'm a a little unclear on how to tackle this.

hey i don't know anything about the process of publishing a book and your videos are so helpful,you are amazing

Omg yes please do one on how to start a publishing company. An yay thank you for the tips and ur cover is gorgeous 😍💟😊

love this advice. ty you rock!

Wow good thing I still have a few months before I want to publish my book. I'm going to have to tighten up my screws and get well oiled so I can find a working brain, heart and courage. thanks Kristen, really informative video. who would have thunk Oz was in Texas.

I usually make my own covers using stocks but I feel it would be better if I have a professonal cover.

awesome cover!!!

I just found you, so I don't know anything about your books. That makes me a good cover analyst, I think, lol. Your cover is beautiful. I love the colors. Now for the details. There's a girl and a boy, so I assume there will be a romantic sub-plot. It reads as YA/NA. There is a futuristic-looking city in the distance, so there might be a utopian/dystopian plot. The omega symbol reads like a keyhole, so perhaps you have to be part of the Order of Omega to live in the shining city, and that comes with complications. I'm not sure whether the girl and boy are trying to get into the order, or are on the run from them. They look pretty relaxed, though. The fire and water coming out from the omega symbol tells me that perhaps as members of the order, they receive or develop some sort of elemental powers. I would definitely turn this over in the store to read the synopsis. I'm not a reader of books with magic in them, but I am a sci-fi nut. So, I am interested in learning more about the book. Is it a stand-alone? Or the sequel to the other book you mentioned? If it's part of a series, that is information I'd like to see on the cover. Hope this helps! Going to check out more of your videos now...and subscribing. :)

Who is your cover designer

Wow this was very helpful! A lot of info I've not heard from other self-published authors! How some authors publish a book a month is amazing to me. Can you go into more detail on setting up a publishing g company? Is this just for our (the authors) books or others books as well? Thanks!

I know I'm asking a few questions but do you need a isbn for a paperback through Ingram sparks and another for a paper back through create space. If I am debating on going through both for the benefits of each?

Awesome cover, and very informative video.

The cover looks amazing. I hope your book is supper successful.

ugh... wish I could have met you in person in Dallas! I just clicked on you and love your advice. thank you!

Great Video! Great Information!

Love this!

seriously, how come you don't have 500K subscribers?! you are so well put together with your info and presentation, really impressive. I appreciate your info. thank you!

Thanks for the well organized info! Nice makeup. ;)

Great Cover!

dope!!! thank you!!!!

I know this video is a year old but do you know if instead of hiring a graphic designer for the cover we can comission an artist?

I am happy I found your video. They are super helpful :).

How do you choose ethical beta readers that will not distribute your work without your permission?

Do you know a UK site that deals with books from the UK?  It's a very British story and I want to keep it like that.  I had a bad experience from a self publishing website where they ignored me because I didn't pay the big bucks.  They didn't really want to publish my book and waited until I got annoyed and lost my temper with them, then they had a reason to refuse to publish it.  Can anyone help me?  Please?

Fantastic cover. I really like it. A very helpful video that vasttly surpasses others I've watched on the same topic. Now its time to watch this one a few more times before going forward to your others. Many thanks.

Since Createspace and Ingramspark are both POD, did you use one of the ebook and print options from Damonza?

Hahaha yes, I've read each of my books so many times during editing that I could probably recite them. The "stab-yourself-in-the-eye" analogy is great!

Does anyone know if you are supposed to add the text with illustrations before uploading to these programs, or if you are supposed to add them when you get there. (For Children's picture books)
BTW, all the other information is awesome, TY.

Hi Do you have a video on how to set up ISBNS?

1. So funny i was just saying this the other. I love it. Its a good book but im literally tired of reading my book smh lol

I'll edit this shit myself!

I know I am very late, but would fivver be a good place to hire editors and cover designers?

Thank you for a great video.

She couldn't just edit out the very end? Goes beyond a cute outtake.

I've been looking through a bunch of different videos here trying to find information about self publishing because I have an idea for some educational books for children, and your video is by far the best I have seen. Thank you for this, the information about things like establishing my own company or the need for ISBNs is very helpful

Thanks
