🆕 I will analyze your books live: Thursday, August 27th
Hey everyone, Because of the high Q4 workload, I paused the live calls here in Skool. I want to change that, starting this week. And I had an idea for the next one that I think you will get a lot out of. 🎉 ➡️ Send me one of your books and I will analyze it live on the call. It can be a book that flopped, or one that is doing well. Both work. With the failed ones we figure out what went wrong. With the successful ones we figure out what is worth copying into your next one. Either way you get real, personal feedback. Something you can use to optimize that book itself, or take into the next one you publish. ❓ How to send your book in: Write me a *direct message* here on Skool with the link to it. That is all. I will prepare the feedback in advance and we go through the books together with everyone on the call. Please send it by Wednesday evening so I have enough time to prepare it properly. One thing you should know before you send: I will have the book open on screen during the call, and the call is recorded. So only send a book you are fine with showing to this community. And if you don't want to send one in, come anyway. Watching somebody else's listing get taken apart is usually where you learn the most, because you are not defending anything while you watch. As always, feel free to prepare general questions too. I will do an open Q&A at the end. Thursday, August 27th 2 PM EDT | 11 AM PDT | 8 PM CEST You can save the date in the skool calendar tab. See you there! 🙌🏼

Audible but not in the USA
Hi guys, If you have a US company (like an LLC) but live in Europe, can you still publish audiobooks on Audible? @Andrey Bernhart You and Peter mentioned this in one of the videos after the event in London /walking on the beach

You need a US person behind the LLC because Amazon needs a real person and not just a business before they give you an ACX account. I collaborated with another publisher who has an ACX account and published audiobooks that way, but we ended the collaboration.
Which tools do you use for your apps?
@Andrey Bernhart In your YouTube videos (which are super amazing, by the way thanks for sharing!), you talk about building bonuses in your KDP books like apps. May I ask which tools you use to build them? @everyone

Thanks! It depends on the bonus. Some are just PDFs I build in Canva, some are apps I create with Claude and host on my website's domain, and others are courses I host on course platforms like skool. it doesn't really matter what you use, as long as it works.
PF Visuals
Any one else encountering difficulties with generating images using Visuals? Have tried to generate Back Cover a number of times in the last 24 hrs which appears to work initially but either produces time-out error messages for some or replaces older iterations with greyed out images?

@Arlo Woulfe Is the problem now resolved, or does it still not work? If you contact support, you can get back all your credits; normally, if a generation fails, it shouldn't even cost you credits, but if it does, you can tell us, and we will refund them.
Editing chapters up front vs leaving it in developmental editing phase
Can someone help point me in the right direction , like if there's a video I can review for this. But, what is the best flow for writing each chapter and then moving into the developmental editing phase? Is it better to edit extensively as each chapter is written and then move to developmental editing for further editing. Or would it be more effective to just make sure the chapters sound good and are fact checked and leave the extensive editing in the developemental editing phase? I'm used to editing heavily for each chapter, but feel that maybe a better process using PublishingFlow would be to allow the developmental stage to do that heavy lifting. If there's a tutorial or live call that I can watch, let me know. I searched around but couldn't seem to locate that information. Thanks so much,

Great question! The basic flow we recommend is: Big Step 1 - Writing: - PublishFlow writes the first chapter draft - Then you improve it, provide feedback by using the AI chat assistant until you are happy with the chapter in terms of the content and tone of the writing - Then you fact-check, read through the newest version, and move to the next chapter - Repeat for all chapters Big Step 2 - Developmental Editing: - PublishFlow creates the Developmental Editing Report - You look through the reports; if you disagree with some points, mention it and argue with PublishFlow until you and PublishFlow agree. - Let PublishFlow implement the Developmental Editing Report - Read through the chapters to double check if everything was implemented well Big Step 3 - Proofreading: - Let PublishFlow proofread the book - Go through the changes PublishFlow made and accept or not accept them. If you trust PublishFlow's judgment, you can auto-accept all at once (I do that often) and then read through the book one last time for a final check. So to answer your question, I would recommend improving the chapter as much as you can and want to before you use the fact-checking. Every improvement you make will positively impact the writing of each new chapter, so spending time to make the first chapter great helps the rest of the book to adapt to that faster.
