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.
