Can You Blog a Book and Use the Amazon KDP and KDP Select Programs?

In November 2012 I wrote a post about publishing your blogged book as a Kindle ebook. It only referenced the Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) program, not the KDP Select program. At this time, I’d like to update that information since I get asked about this often. Also, it has ramifications for your blogged book. Additionally, […]

Don’t Just Blog a Book–Publish a Blogged Book in November

You need a good schedule to blog a book and publish it in 30 days.

Lot’s of books get written in November–at least the first drafts. That’s why I declared November National Writing Month in 2009.
