And then there are some key issues to take into account with IngramSpark.\nEven if you are just starting this process\, you will hear about the basics of getting started on your self-publishing path. \n\n\n\n\nAt this session\, you will learn: \n• How to set your book up on KDP\, and why to do the paperback edition first\n• How KDP makes it easy to add your Kindle edition once the paperback is all set up\n• Ordering proofs from KDP and how the process works\n• Why set your book up with IngramSpark—and why you may not need to bother\n• How to be free of paying any fees with setting your book up on IngramSpark\n• and much more! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAFTERNOON WORKSHOP\nDiving Deeper into KDP and IngramSpark\nIn the afternoon session\, Ruth will walk you through\, step-by-step\, how to set a book up with both KDP and IngramSpark\, as well as allowing for an extended Q&A segment so that you get your questions answered. \n• Learn how to take advantage of best practices around an effective KDP book description\, including some simple html coding to create a larger headline\, bold type\, and separate paragraphs.\n• Find out the latest on listing your keywords in your KDP title setup.\n• See how KDP/Amazon has made improvements around uploading revised files (from the old CreateSpace days).\n• Using the KDP and IngramSpark tools that will tell you how much it will cost to print your book with both companies. \nAbout Our Speaker\nAs a Book Midwife\, Ruth helps self-publishing authors get clear about the steps needed to turn out a professional book that looks as good as anything coming from a traditional publisher. Ruth helps authors get past the stuck places\, getting through the decision-making and design process quickly\, birthing their books with ease. \nShe works with authors to turn finished manuscripts into finished books\, complete with professional cover design\, interior layout\, and ebook editions—all up online and available for sale. \nRuth brings over 40 years of book publishing\, design and printing industry experience to every author’s project and has worked on over 120 independently-published books since 2012 when print on demand technology enabled the current indie publishing revolution.
