    Amazon delays can be a nightmare for authors, especially when everything is set for a carefully planned launch day, and your book still hasn’t gone live. Recently, Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform has been experiencing lengthy approval delays, sometimes taking weeks to process books. In this crucial episode, we’ll guide you through what to do if Amazon’s hold-ups affect your launch. We’ll discuss practical steps to take if your release day is at risk, plus creative backup plans to help you stay on track, keep readers engaged, and avoid costly disruptions. Don’t let these unexpected delays derail your hard work—tune in for the strategies and solutions you need to navigate Amazon’s KDP bottlenecks!

    Let's See if You're Ready for an Audiobook
    Oct 25 2024

    Audiobooks are all the rage, but are you truly ready to dive in? In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of the audiobook world, revealing why it’s not as simple as it seems. Yes, thanks to AI it’s easier (and cheaper) than ever to create an audiobook, and with its booming popularity, the revenue potential is tempting—but rushing in could be a costly mistake. We’ve got a real-time story for you, featuring a disastrous audio narration (with an actual audio sample brought by Penny!) that shows how the wrong choice can wreck your brand. We’ll cover the essentials of audiobook production and why waiting might save you from turning off your audience.

CAN'T MISS Book Marketing Advice!!!

I swear, it's like Penny & Amy have curled up in a corner of my mind, taken notes on all my insecurities, questions, and concerns as a newbie self-publishing author, and they've turned them into podcast episodes! These two ladies are entertaining (their humor is endearing & you really feel like you're hanging out with your besties), passionate, & they REALLY know their stuff! I'm always learning something new and coming away with sage advice in every episode.

Before I found this hidden gem, I was bubbling over with anxiety from what I had learned about book marketing and I felt hopeless. These episodes have helped break apart the different areas of book marketing and made implementing their advice feel doable for a self-publishing author that's willing to put in the work.

So far, two of my favorite take-aways from this podcast have been to not skimp on a good quality cover design & that Goodreads is a viable platform for book marketing that shouldn't be ignored.

Penny and Amy, thank you so much for everything you do to make this podcast happen! Keep 'em coming!

-Rachael

Excellent! This podcast is my new best friend!

I love this podcast and these gals really know their stuff.

As someone who has done Book Marketing for the past 7 years, I can vouch for them 100%!

I love that I am learning new things and it's fun listening to them. I like their dynamic together and that it's sprinkled with
a bit of laughter here and there.

For me, it's like talking "shop" with your best friends, people who want the best for you and have the knowledge
and skills to help you achieve your goals.

If you want to get on the road to success as an author I HIGHLY recommend this podcast. It really should have dozens of reviews and fans. A hidden gem.
