šŸ‘‰ Share Your ā€œKodak Momentā€ in Self-Publishing This Month!
There’s a reason the phrase ā€œa Kodak momentā€ stayed in our language long after film stopped ruling the world.
Kodak didn’t just sell cameras.
They sold meaning.
A Kodak moment was never about the camera.
It was about recognising a fleeting instant and saying:
šŸ‘‰ This matters. Remember this.
For authors — especially those publishing through KDP — this hits close to home.
Because most meaningful moments in publishing don’t look impressive from the outside.
They’re quiet.
They’re invisible to algorithms.
They don’t come with screenshots of bestseller badges.
They look like:
  • finishing a chapter you almost abandoned
  • uploading your manuscript after weeks of self-doubt
  • hitting ā€œpublishā€ on your first book
  • getting your first real reader message
  • fixing something in your blurb instead of quitting
  • choosing consistency over perfection for one more day
Those are publishing moments.
And they’re easy to rush past.
But if you don’t pause to name them, you miss the point of why you started writing in the first place.
That’s the culture I want this community to hold:
Not just celebrating outcomes — but honouring progress.
Because books aren’t built in breakthroughs.
They’re built in moments you decide not to give up.
Question for the community šŸ‘‡
What’s your ā€œKodak momentā€ as an author right now — a small, quiet publishing win that deserves to be acknowledged before you move on to the next task?
Share it.
Let’s capture the moments that actually build books.
