Amazon Book Self-Publishing Group

22 replies
Hello there,

I've formed a Google Group club for folks who have published books using Createspace and Amazon. It's brand new but my vision is for it to be a place where we can mastermind and do book/review swaps.

I want to ensure this group is made of up of true Amazon self-publishers or folks who are interested in self publishing so you'll need to click on the "apply for membership" link so I can review it.

Here is the group...

http://groups.google.com/group/amazon-self-publishing

If you have any questions let me know.

Alan

    I've received a couple questions so I'll reply here as well in case others have the same question.

    Q- How many members do you have?
    A- This is a brand new group so there are only a couple members so far but I do have plans to grow this group so we get more out of it.

    Q- Is it free? Are you going to sell me stuff?
    A- It's 100% free. No up-sells or anything like that. The group is via Google Groups so you will need to have a free account with Google and most in IM have this already so it shouldn't be a big deal.

    Hey Alan,

    I haven't published there yet, but thinking of going down the Kindle path.

    Will this be helpful for that? Also, do you think the group will be time intensive?

    Thanks.

    Are you going to go to BOOK EXPO in NYC next week? I am thinking of going again. It is the most important event for book publishing each year. It is at the Javits Center in NYC. Everyone in publishing is there!

    Hey everyone, I've had a few folks ask me if this is a paid group. It is not. It's free.

    I manually review applicants to make sure we have writers/self publishers in the group but it is free to join.

    We have 90 members join so far and I've only had to ban one so it's working out nicely.
