Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest

We take a slightly different approach than usual in this live training, where Blaine provides a comprehensive update on recent developments in the world of independent publishing and the sorts of conversations being had with other authors, publishers, and vendors at the recent Author Nation conference.

We discuss key insights from the conference, including new features and changes from Amazon such as free translation services in KDP, updates to the A10 algorithm, and new upload limits.

The session also covers software news, such as the rebranding of Affinity Publisher and Grammarly, and the latest offerings from Scrivener and BookFunnel.

Additionally, the episode delves into the implications of AI in audiobook production, the importance of trigger and content warnings, and the benefits of large print books.

We also answered some questions about running a Kickstarter for authors, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and strategies for successful campaigns.
