  2. Thanks for the great list of posts, Debby. Sorry I’m so darn late to stop by! I’m off to check out the posts I missed. And thanks for including my Bookbub newbie experience. I’m going to try another one and see how it goes. 🙂 Have a peaceful day, my friend. Hugs.

  8. Once again, you’ve found fascinating artilces (thank you for including me!). Natalie is amazing with her formatting ideas, as is Kathy with writing tips. I haven’t heard of KDP A+ content so I’m off to check that out.

  12. Just getting over “birthday bash” and time away.

    Thanks for getting me caught up here with the latest. I can identify most with being an “everyday star.” The description fits me right now. But I will never give up writing even though I may take a break every now and then.

    You inspire me, Debby, pressing on even through tears. ((( HUGS )))

  13. Hello Debby! I hope you are fine, far away from all these heatings, flootings and stormings. (In English I love to use the plural! Lol). Thanks for the very interesting listing of important and useful advices. Be well, stay save and enjoy life. xx Michael

  18. A fantastic compilation of articles and tips, Debby. I’ve read Jacqui’s blog post and I’ve been curious about KDP’s new marketing tool. “Thanks a lot for giving me extra material to read this weekend,” she says sarcastically! 🙂
