Apologies! I’d love to send beta copies of the paperback overseas, but the postage is a killer so this plea is for Aussies only.
So what do I want and what do you get?
I’d like 5 volunteers, anywhere in Australia, who’d be prepared to test the KDP how-to for functionality. I’ll send you a questionnaire to make things easier, but essentially, the questions I’d like answered are:
- do the step-by-step instructions leave anything out that a real beginner would need?
- do the examples make sense?
- are the screenshots good enough?
- are the page numbers in the Table of Contents accurate?
- are the page numbers in the Index accurate?
- if dipping into a guide is your style, do the Table of Contents and Index help you find what you’re looking for? Quickly? Easily?
- is the cover too garish? Tone down the green? Pick another colour for the back cover entirely?
- and of course, typos, but only if they hit you in the face. Don’t worry about combing through each page.
In return, you get to keep the proof copies I send you. No strings, no obligations. However, if you return the questionnaire, I’ll also send you a ‘first edition’ of the final, finished version. If you want it signed, I’ll do that too, but you can have it naked if you prefer. Again, no strings, no obligations. đŸ™‚
Almost as important are the things I won’t do:
- no using your email address in any newsletters, either now or in the future,
- no contacting you directly with any promotional stuff, and
- no pressuring you to write a review.
So there you have it. I’m hoping to have the proof copies ready within 2 weeks, so if you think you’d be interested, please contact me on:

Many thanks,
Meeks
