Are you confused and concerned about moving your books from CreateSpace to KDP?

October 1, 2018 by Ruth Schwartz

It can be very simple, and as some people have found, there can be some serious challenges. For some, their books just disappeared into the ether, for others their books wound up in one KDP account, but their paperback from CreateSpace went to another account.

 

There ARE some things for you to know and do BEFORE you move your books to CreateSpace. I have been pulling together a list and BAIPA has decided to do an experiment with an online webinar format, where you can get all of your questions answered so you can move forward moving your books from CreateSpace to KDP with confidence.

 

Here are the particulars:

Thursday, October 18th
4 PM
BAIPA Members: $15.00, Guests: $25.00
Registration will be set up on the BAIPA website soon, and an email will go out at that time.

 

I will run through a short list of key things to know and do before you move your books, and then we will open the “floor” for any and all questions for the rest of the hour.

 

Also, this is a new format we are testing. If it goes well, it will allow us to deliver more content (some of it time-sensitive) in a more convenient format. No need to get yourself to Novato!

    Hi Ruth–I’ll be in Palm Springs on the 18th but need to do this webinar thing with you in order to move my book to KDP account. Just letting you know that I’ll be signing up–I have to make sure I will have wifi where I’m staying. Thanks. This will be very helpful.

    Ruth, If time allows, could you talk about the KDP sales reports. I don’t see a report that lists the sales by title, such as CreateSpace had. Thank you …

      Sandra – I am not sure we will have time during the webinar to go through all of the reports available, but I did check into this for you. If you click on Prior Month’s Royalties and then click on Generate Report, you will get a spreadsheet per title. Granted, the system does not give you that info on the screen, but it is available, and in my mind, it is a nice clean report.

        Thank you … I’ll do that now.

Welcome to BAIPA

With COVID-19 teaching us all how to function remotely, BAIPA will meet via ZOOM ONLY until it is safe to resume in-person meetings. (Even when we decide to resume in-person events, we will continue the Zoom option.) We are implementing all the recommended precautionary measures to keep our meetings private and safe for all participants. All members and visitors who register in advance will receive a link to attend via Zoom video conferencing. On the Friday evening before the meeting, we will send the link and password out to members and to non-members … More

Current BAIPA members do not need to register for our monthly meetings. The night before the meetings, they will receive the Zoom info. However, members must log in to get a discounted ticket for workshops.
