About me

Born in Sunderland many years ago I went to college in Bradford and trained to be a teacher, a profession I followed for 34 years. Then I worked in a bank for 6 years before retiring completely. I remained in Yorkshire and that is where I write. I have always had the ambition to write and eventually began in 2009 and have completed four novels since then and I’m working on a fifth. I blog daily on http://david-latkinson.blogspot.com and there are short stories, poetry and recipes as well as commentary on the writing process.

I have been reading f have rom authors who have tried the select method where you tie your book up for 90 days. It is unclear whether you have to start again with this site and any other that you market your book on and of course it can take weeks to get back on board. Secondly, if you go with KDP Select there are no guarantees. I have 3 publishe dbooks now and I had though tof trying one of them this way but I am already set up on Smashwords as well and I don't want to have to start all over again. (more)

The short answer is that it is very simple indeed and took me around half an hour! Just go to Kindle Self-publishing. It doesn't affect your CompletelyNovel connection and you use the existing ISBN number. I have had more 3rd party sales through Kindle than this website! Thx for the review and attention Romanie.
