I am a writer from India. I write in Malayalam, a local language of a southern part of India. I watch your videos regularly. It always motivate me to write.

One big hole in this video is pricing-for editing, designing, and printing. This can vary widely, mostly depending on the length of the manuscript. For editing, for instance, the price is usually based on the number of words, so a range of cost per word would be helpful for first time self-publishers to create a rough budget. Designing usually depends on how fancy a cover the author wants and what a designer usually charges. Printing cost depends on size and length of book and number of copies. For both of these, there are typical ranges. This video could have helped authors put together a rough budget before they begin the process, especially since Reedsy offers many of these services.

I like your hair in the "Is KDP Select Right for You" video. Reminds me of the Pippi Longstalking theme song for some strange reason. 🥰 Now that song is in my head all day🤣

@@BlackHermit Imagine Person A of their own free will directly gives Person B a compliment. But in waltz Person C, who out of left field shoehorned their way to project a contrary opinion. In any physical social setting, both Person A and Person B would deem Person C to be rude and intrusive. On a lower level, one would deduce Person C to be seeking an argument for the sake of arguing or being one of those who feels the world must bend to their desires, because they believe what comes out of their own mouths is on par or higher than the word of God. Overall, there was no need for you to inject your objection. If you're looking for an e-argument, there's a plethora of channels to indulge in that flavor of interactions.

On KDP, I noticed that under distribution, it wont allow me to select all of them because supposedly they're unavailable, so I can only check on US. How can I have more distributors deliver my books worldwide?
