Thank you very much. You've been so kind. I've been anxious about finding illustrations for my poetry book for five months, even though I have Canva. With just one click, you've relieved all my worries. I'm truly grateful. May you be blessed, and may your subscriber base grow even more. You deserve recognition.
@@learnwithmaritzaWith your assistance, I've rapidly completed half of the book, including the illustrations. Now, only the final touches are left. It should take 20-25 days, and I aim to release it in August.
Yay! I'm so happy to be able to help. My goal was to make it as easy to follow as possible for anyone to do. I have a course on this, and I just dropped the price to $14👉 stan.store/thelearningmindset. Go sign up! And share your book once it's published 🎉
Hello friend! Check out the next video that I'm about to launch because I'm teaching how to put the front and back covers together. Have you downloaded the KDP calculator?
While one one hand as I am also a poet I agree but,.... the truth is A.I. is very very capable of creating moving poetry and Haiku's as well. Some of it I've seen it produce was very impressive
I agree. I've used AI for different types of content but as a writer I feel like using it for poetry somehow feels inhuman void of real human experience even though the AI can depict emotions well
@@learnwithmaritza I agree... And it's the personal creation and expression that does it for me. I get a lot out of it personally, that feeds my own soul when I create.
Hello! I'm working on formatting a poetry book for KDP and could use some advice. How do you handle line breaks and spacing to make sure the poems look good on different devices? Are there any common pitfalls to avoid? Thanks in advance!
Yes, I'd be happy to help. I design my paperback on Canva so it's much easier to avoid page break mistakes or spacing issues. What are you using to format your book?
@@learnwithmaritzaYes, I'd love some guidance on this! I'm also using Canva to format my book, but I'm not entirely sure about the best practices for proper formatting. I have the book ready, but I'm uncertain if all the images are allowed and the margins for a paperback book. Thanks so much! ---
Great 👍. Could you please let us know in which format can we upload it on etsy? Like pdf print or png or jpeg and how the customer is going to receive the book?
It depends. To my clients, I always recommend at least 100 pages worth of poems. It depends on what you'd like your book to feel like when your reader reads it.
Hi there! Thank you for posting this video. It was very helpful ❤ Is there a page amount that you would recommend for poetry? Such as 50-100 pages or more? Thank you kindly!
You first have to get the right dimensions for your hardcover. Do you have the KDP calculator? It will give you the right dimensions for your book cover to plug into Canva under "Customer Size." Have you also check the KDP website on the part with all the sizes?
Hi there :) Do you have your poems on a Microsoft Word document? If so, all you have to do is copy and paste it onto Canva and then modify the text so that it fits the page. Try it and let me know 👍
Hi there this video came at the perfect time! I want to create a poetry book and publish it! Do you have any recommendations on how one should go about publishing a poetry book especially if I create it with Canva? 🥹❤️

Yay 👏 🎉🫶

I have 30 years of poetry that I've written, and I want to start organizing and putting into a book and sell at my shop. Thank you for this video.
Hi Michele, I'm so glad that this video was helpful. It's time to take those 30 years of poetry and turn them into a poetry book on Amazon 🙌
Thank you very much! I've wanted to for years to create a poetry book but just didn't know where to begin. Now I know 🌟 Thank you for uploading this!

Hello friend! Check out the next video that I'm about to launch because I'm teaching how to put the front and back covers together. Have you downloaded the KDP calculator?
Thank you so much. I had no idea i could do this on canvas. Im going to get started tonight
@lashellawilliams4493 Yes, and it's simple. It's doable! Let me know how it goes 👏 Let's go!

@alanikeiser I feel the same way
Being in that mode of creating designs or writing is a healing process because it comes from within.
Great video thank you-very helpful. Would love a video of how to upload to KDP. Thank you !
Yay! That is the goal-to be as helpful as possible. I will work on a video uploading the poetry book on Amazon KDP.

Thank you for this video. Could you please create video on formatting poetry book in canva?
Hi there, yes. I created one and can definitely create another one. I'll keep you posted 🫶👍

Great 👍. Could you please let us know in which format can we upload it on etsy? Like pdf print or png or jpeg and how the customer is going to receive the book?
Hi there 👋 Save the file as a PDF doc for Etsy.
Hi, can I know how many poems should a book have?
It depends. To my clients, I always recommend at least 100 pages worth of poems. It depends on what you'd like your book to feel like when your reader reads it.
@@learnwithmaritza I have at least 27 poems, each having 14 to 19 lines. Would you recommend adding more to it.
Hi there! Thank you for posting this video. It was very helpful ❤ Is there a page amount that you would recommend for poetry? Such as 50-100 pages or more? Thank you kindly!
Absolutely! I'm glad its helpful. For a poetry book I feel that the minimum should be 100 pages since the content within each page is minimal.
This is so sweet! I would definitely love to do this! 💕☺️
Yay! Let me know if you do 💕
Thank you
How do I take the book cover from here and use it as my hard book cover...I'm not sure how to take the covering on here to edit it as it book cover...
You first have to get the right dimensions for your hardcover. Do you have the KDP calculator? It will give you the right dimensions for your book cover to plug into Canva under "Customer Size." Have you also check the KDP website on the part with all the sizes?
Hi the poems i have is a run on poem of like 20 lines, how do i get it onto the canva page
Hi there :) Do you have your poems on a Microsoft Word document? If so, all you have to do is copy and paste it onto Canva and then modify the text so that it fits the page. Try it and let me know 👍
I will try it thank you, what's the margin I can use for a poetry book?
You can use a 5x8 or 6x9
Thank you I will let you know how it is
Great! Let me known if it's published 👍
How do you format?
Do you mean the interior pages or the book cover?
You’re mispronouncing Leth.ar.gy
Thank you. I noticed while editing the video. You do, you learn, you grow.

Hi there! Do you have ready-to-publish poetry?
im sorry for the delayed response, but what is that ?
It means if you have poetry that you've already written. Have you started writing?
