Up to 90 days. It's two months after the end of the current month, so June gets paid at the very end of August

Always disclose. It's not worth risking your account by not disclosing. I always say for the text that it's AI generated and heavily edited, because I do go through it with a fine tooth comb and make changes as I go to un-AI it and make it mine.

@Laurna Dixon There are four levels to choose from regarding AI disclosure, from memory. I'm not in front of my laptop to yen you the exact wording, but I choose the choice that's like, 'written with AI, but heavily edited'

I would not get friends or family to review your books. Go a little wider. It's quite OK to give out PDF copies of your book - it's known as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) - and to ask for an honest review from those people. They do not need to have purchased it, it is just an unverified review.

@Heather C. I do get a few initial reviews for my books just to get the ball rolling, but I'm very slow and careful with it.

A disappointing experience could be anything from a mismatch between the cover and what's inside, to an obviously AI book with zero editing - perhaps leaving some of the AI remnants in the text. That reason for a block is a very hard one to figure out.

I use Publish Flow for my full book production. I purchased a yearly membership when it launched, but it has a monthly plan as well. I use the create function on it for my cover creation for new books (not my existing brands: I use Canva and Affinity for that) and A+ and I find it exceptional. I have also used their formatting and it was good. I do prefer to format in Affinity or Canva, depending on my brand. Considering I was paying $676 for a ghostwriter who was good, but slow, this has streamlined my workflow. Everything else I do myself. For launching, I allow around $1K per book, but that was before I watched Davide's videos last night! Now, I think I'll build a brand I don't need to do that with, or at least minimize it.

@M L Over 20 in total. Let me know if you're seriously thinking about trying Publish Flow. I find it fantastic to use. I'm happy to chat about it if you want more information, just DM me.
