Couple of questions:

1) You mentioned that the ISBN should go on the second page. I have done the cover for my first book and ChatGPT told me to leave a white rectangular space in the right hand corner of the back cover. ChatGPT said I couldn't have it in the middle, it had to be in the right hand corner since I was publishing independently and that is where Amazon puts the ISBN.

2) You mention you have different publishing names - Waller Publishing and ...
Do you need to register those with the government or can you just give yourself a publishing name?

Thanks,
Isabella

I do not need to register the publishing names, Isabella.

ChatGPT is correct regarding where the ISBN will be on the back cover. I was referring to where it also appears inside the book.

Also I don't believe its necessary to leave a white space on your cover. I never have. KDP Amazon will automatically place the ISBN where it belongs over whatever we have there.

Thank you for your answers, Mel.

But I suppose the ISBN doesn't need to appear inside the book, does it? As I understand it, I won't know the ISBN number until after I've submitted the book to Amazon.

I've never seen a book without the ISBN inside of it.

I have the interior all ready to go except for ISBN. When submitting to KDP Amazon on the top of the 2nd page you can get the ISBN. Then I add that to the interior and export the file as a PDF. Then your next steps is to Upload the interior to KDP Amazon.

So its all part of the process, Isabella.

Thank you, Mel. Once I've done it all for the first time, it should all become clear.

Yes, it will be a lot easier after that Isabella.

Thanks - and thanks for giving me the idea in the first place. I am really enjoying working on it - though it might have been a good idea to choose a shorter book to start with. Lol

haha I understand Isabella. I try to find shorter versions also if possible. :-)
