I’m finally making more progress quickly in putting this QA review behind me. I ran into more unexpected snags last night which really set me back today, but now I’m on the happy path. The only thing left to do is check the sales pages and then make minor...

I came up with a killer idea to help me manage my books today, and it was 100% free. A few days ago, I logged into my KDP dashboard and noticed that Amazon had flagged one of my books due to a broken external link. It was easily fixed, no big deal. This sort of thing...

I fixed the little issue I had with my quality checks and now I’m moving ahead. I republished my book Interactive Fiction, which was my very first nonfiction writing book. It got a new cover and an interior refresh. Should be available by tomorrow. It’s for people who...

I thought I was done with my QA checks but I discovered a minor problem that required me to back track. It will take me a few days to fix. Not a huge deal, but something I want to make sure is buttoned up. Overall though, I made good progress today. I restarted...

Welp, I’m unofficially done with my QA checks. 67 books…all checked and almost done. I am waiting on a few things: mostly cover updates for my Indie Author Confidential series, but for the most part, I just need to follow-up and verify that retailers accepted all my...

I made it through one book today for quality checks, but it took me a while to get through it. Unfortunately, I had to reformat one of my books. It was good and bad news. The good news that the Indie Writer’s Encyclopedia was well-formatted but I had to use Scrivener...

I’ve officially finished quality checking my fiction. It should be a good feeling, but I’m extremely tired of doing this. But, I soldier on. I’m approximately 75% complete with my entire portfolio. Now, it’s just my writing books, which should flow much more easily....

I finished all of my 2017 novels for quality checks today. Making progress. It feels good to finish up my 9-book space opera series and get everything in order. A few titles had the wrong price, so this was a valuable exercise. Tomorrow I’ll finish up my remaining...

I got a lot of books QA’d today and I’m slightly ahead of where I thought I’d end up today. That said, unfortunately, I need to CANCEL tomorrow’s power hour. I’ll move it to next week. Something came up. Thanks everyone for understanding and I’m looking forward to the...

I finished QA’ing my 2016 books today. I’m officially into 2017. Now I’m working on my 9-books Galaxy Mavericks series, which will probably take me through the weekend. The first book always takes the most time—the subsequent books always take about half that. I think...
