  • Amazon has made an error in my royalty reports. What do I do?
  • Two part question: 1. In my book, I have included links to YouTube Jazz recordings by jazz greats like Dizzie Gillepsie. Do I have permission to do that? and 2. If I want to copy a website address into a link, does that infringe on copyright?
  • How do I make it easy for a bookstore to carry my book without bearing the financial burden of returns?
  • How do I convert a PDF to a fixed layout ebook?
  • When I launch my book, should I change my spelling to American English?

  1. Thank you for your time and your tips, Michael and Dan! I’m currently on the Great Website Tour, visiting the websites of various author I admire and respect, seeing what they done that I like as a visitor and what I found confusing. (wry grin) I’m hoping to learn a lot from observation. I appreciated you boiling it down to key questions of what we want to accomplish with our pages, which is the whole point of having the website. 🙂 Once again, thank you!
