    Congratulations on your omnibus! Looks great. But are the pages in while or cream color? Personally, I think "cream" pages work better for fiction -- but "white" is okay.
    Best of luck!

    • @BethanyAtazadeh

    Hi! Congrats on your new baby and your new book! It's beautiful! I am new to the kdp family. I would like to publish my 11 x 9 children's book in hardcover through kdp. I so wish they offered dust covers but I understand they do not. Does kdp offer custom sized hardcover books? Is 11x9 an acceptable size?

    Isn't there an option to include a barcode in your cover from KDP? Just curious if you had thought of that or if it didn't work out for some reason because I've considered it but never tried!

    • @BethanyAtazadeh
      @BethanyAtazadeh  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Rebecca! I'm not totally sure if I know what you're asking, but you actually have to have a barcode on the cover when you sell on Amazon, and KDP automatically gives you one, so all of my books have barcodes. Hope that answers your question!

    • @RebeccaBry
      @RebeccaBry 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@BethanyAtazadeh I was curious if you could like create a custom barcode, like a color scheme or a shape that better fits the cover! If not that's cool, but I thought I saw that option somewhere. That also could've been B&N though. I've done their POD service too

    Amazing! How long will the collector’s addition be available for purchase? I know the extra release week goodies are limited but I wasn’t sure if the book itself can only be purchased by a certain date. Christmas is coming so I have to worry about buying presents before getting something for myself;)

    • @BethanyAtazadeh
      @BethanyAtazadeh  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The book itself isn't going anywhere, so you have time! :) But KDP and other printers are talking about printing shortages, so personally I'd order any books you want for Christmas by Thanksgiving or so, just to be safe! :)

    Hello, this actually has nothing to do with books, and you might already be planning to do this, but I feel it's important to tell you. I'm from a homeschooled family and I don't think there's a better option. in Proverbs 22:6 it says ''train up a child in the way that he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it.''
    The years of a child are extremely important, its what molds them into the person they will become and the fact is the school system teaches in direct defiance of God. People try to defend it saying things like ''it's neutral! they just leave God out.'' but that leads to giant plot holes which they try to cover up with equally giant lies, like evolution and the big bang.
    Its not neutral, its atheism.
    I want to warn you of what they teach in the school system. They teach there is no absolute Truth, that you can define your own truth. they teach that we, as people, are not created by God, with love and a purpose, but merely by accident, the chance evolution of an animal. They teach that the baby in a mothers womb is just a clump of cells, and can be cruelly sentenced to a brutal murder without consequences.
    GOD HAS ABSOLUTE TRUTHS. Truths that the public schools have NO intention of teaching.
    Homeschooling lets you know exactly what your child is learning because you are personally involved in each lesson and the relationship is much better, because you see them more than just at dinner and maybe breakfast. They learn more important things and aren't forced to learn things that aren't important to their interests or goals. After all, in what way would a florist make use of calculus or a chiropractor employ jazz? Beyond that, there's the benefits that the parents themselves gain, my mother has said multiple times that she has learned more teaching my siblings and I than she ever did in a school classroom. Plus, since homeschooling is not a one size fits all environment, you can adjust to each student, if a kid struggles with math he can receive more personal attention and aid in learning it and if he loves history, like my brother, then he can seek it out at his own pace and commonly learn much more than is strictly required of them.
    This is my advice but you should always do your own research! The Lord always provides answers for those who seek the truth.
    have a wonderful and blessed day!
