About this video
I self-publish my books through SEVEN different companies: Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), Ingramspark, Draft2Digital (D2D), Google Play, Kobo, Apple Books, and Barnes and Noble Press. In this video I'll share why I use each of these companies (and the one company I DON'T work with anymore).
