tomate 🍅<p>And do not get me started on the reporting of sales and payments for <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/SelfPublishers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfPublishers</span></a> . Everything is a mess of xls and csv files. APIs to fetch the reports are non existent (KDP, Kobo), incomplete (Apple only delivers sales but not payment reports) or need begging (google play book publishers has an API but you need to beg to get access to it and then you have to use a JAVA client to access it).</p><p>There are some tools to help you to aggregate your numbers from the different sources >></p>

Arcadia<p>Just curious, have any of the self published authors here ever used Kickstarter to fund their books?</p><p>Personally, I've backed some book projects that I've really enjoyed. Has anyone tried that? If so, what did you think of it? <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/indieauthors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indieauthors</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/SelfPublishers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfPublishers</span></a></p>
John Howes<p>Technical question for anyone using <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/kdp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kdp</span></a> for self publishing. For a fantasy novel 177k words, I've currently set a trim size of 6" X 9". I'm starting to think that may be too large - would 5.5" X 8.5" or 5.25" X 8" be better?</p><p>I know this isn't a writing server but I thought I would just ask. You people seem nice. 😘<br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/selfpublish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfpublish</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/selfpublisher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfpublisher</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/SelfPublishers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfPublishers</span></a></p>
