So, I have a book nearly ready to go and am realizing I still have some business to attend to before I can publish (on Amazon).
First, KDP lets me have a printed draft copy of the paperback. Any idea how long the shipping takes?
Second, does anyone use book formatting--either as a template or hiring someone? Any recommendations? This would be for both the ebook and for the paperback.
Third, if you've used ARCs, how much lead time do you build in for your readers? What I'm looking for here is to have a couple of reviews (which will be glowing, obviously) to have ready prior to publication.
I have been aiming at May 23, but I'm suddenly realizing that just because the book is ready doesn't necessarily the book is ready to be published!
