I wanted to share a special opportunity from @Elizabeth O'Carroll ... A quick bit about me—I’m an author and publisher at Celestar Publishing LLC. Beyond my own books and author journey, my current passion project is The Myloh Project 🐟😅🌊💙! As a fellow author, I know firsthand how crucial book exposure and cross-promotion are—especially in the self-publishing and KDP space. That’s why I host author interviews to help authors highlight their books, share the inspiration behind their writing, and connect with new readers! Thanks to the generous support of Krista, I’m offering this interview feature 100% FREE exclusively to members of this KDP PUBLISHING community! ⭐⭐⭐ 👉 HOW IT WORKS No fees—just pure author reciprocity! We’ll have a fun, relaxed chat about your KDP journey and your book, and all I ask in return is that you share the finished interview with your own network. Where your interview will be featured: 🎬 YouTube Channel: Gimme 5 Book Reviews & Author Interviews 🎙️ Podcast Platforms: Gimme 5 Book Review Podcast (Audio-only on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms) How to claim your free feature: Send me a message right here on Skool, reach out via my author website, or connect through our YouTube channel. 📌 Important: Please put "KDP-Pub" in the subject line or in your message so I know you came from Krista’s KDP Publishing group! Looking forward to hearing about your books and helping you get more eyes on your KDP launches! 🚀📖

I started my day with the biggest smile because today is my son's 5th birthday! 🥳🎂 I had to work today, but thankfully I was able to work from home so I could make his morning a little extra special. Before he left for the day, I surprised him with a few birthday presents, and seeing his face light up was the best part of my morning. Moments like these remind me how fast they're growing up. ❤️ I have one small birthday request. If you have a moment, could you leave Elijah a "Happy Birthday!" in the comments or drop your favorite birthday GIF? 🎉🎈 I'm going to show him all of the birthday wishes when he gets home later today, and I know it would absolutely make his day. Thank you for helping make his 5th birthday even more special! 💙🎁

If you already have a book published on Amazon KDP, don't overlook audiobooks. Audiobooks can become an additional income stream from a book you've already created. The best part? You typically aren't running separate ads specifically for the audiobook. If someone discovers your paperback, ebook, or hardcover and sees an audiobook option available, that's another opportunity for a sale. So why do so many authors skip audiobooks? Usually, it's because they assume producing one will cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars upfront. But what if I told you there's another option? You may be able to work with a narrator using a Royalty Share agreement. If you choose Audible's exclusive distribution option, the royalties can be split between you and the narrator. Instead of paying a large upfront production fee, both parties share in the success of the audiobook. It's a win-win: the narrator gets compensated through future sales, and you can get your audiobook produced with little or no upfront cost. Want to learn more about audiobooks and how to get started?

⚠️ I am thinking about locking this group down to PAID because I keep seeing the same kind of scam happen over and over again. People enter the community posing as high profile authors to try to gain your trust and win your business. As you can see 3 different accounts i've had to ban over time from scammers / spammers trying to sneak in and take advantage of this community. How do they get in? Most of the time when they apply to join they have the HIGH RISK flagged to them and I immediately DENY, but they are getting smarter to the spam and catching on. They apply under the name of SOMEONE ELSE then once they get in they update their display name to show whatever author they are trying to impersonate. ➡️ Do you think a paywall would be the right solution to avoid this? ⁉️ What do you think would be a fair rate to access the community for new members? **No changes are happening right now but I've been thinking a lot about this recently to better protect the community and my SANITY. 😆
