Does the KDP dashboard feel like the control panel of a jumbo jet? Does getting your book self published to CreateSpace feel like you're lost in space? ...been there, done that, so let me show you the T-shirt! The first time we self published a book to KDP, we were so afraid to make a mistake that it took hours. Then came the errors and the publishing, republishing and republishing again and again to make sure the files were right. And every time we needed to change the description or adjust keywords or pricing for the book, we had to wait 12 hours to see it live! And that was just publishing to Kindle... CreatSpace is a whole other can of worms... Help is Here Self publishing your own book is rewarding, but it is also painful if you don't know the techinical in's and outs - which is where our experience comes in!
