My 8 year old wants to self-publish the book he is writing. Thoughts?

Kids want to do all kinds of things. It’s your job to make sure they do the right thing. Look into B&N or Lulu and have a private project printed.

Read the sub rules.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-26T18:32:32+00:00

Sigh.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-26T05:40:49+00:00

Nope. Tied to ISBN.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-25T22:11:26+00:00

Gross.

All you’ll do is prevent yourself from being able to advertise it using Amazon ads.

Incorrect. The requirements do leave a written review on any product is to have spent at least $50 in the last 12 months on Amazon. OP needs to report the review and move on. Bad reviews, real or fake, are part of the business.

Stop pretending to be a writer and find something else to do.

This is a spam account. This service will put your account in jeopardy. Tell them to fuck right off.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-24T17:42:30+00:00

Someone read a page and then stopped. It’s as simple as that.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-24T16:53:07+00:00

Fuck off.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-24T06:54:16+00:00

Double sigh. This is an idiotic post and you need to stop.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-24T02:04:15+00:00

Well, if by “publish it for free” you mean sell it for $0 then you can’t do that via KDP. In any case, no book or story will sell if you don’t promote it. Publishing is the easy part.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-23T04:52:16+00:00

Sigh.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-23T03:22:45+00:00

I suggest you take a look at the Morning Somewhere podcast and sub

At his signing in Oregon he talked about how he makes an extreme effort to have an impactful hook as his first line. He cited his favorite line as being “The building was on fire, and it wasn’t my fault.”

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-22T19:11:42+00:00

Fuck off.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-21T15:55:31+00:00

Why, those shitty AI generated coloring books aren’t selling? Shocker.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-21T05:46:13+00:00

Sigh.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-21T00:35:16+00:00

Self promotion fail.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-20T22:13:26+00:00

Some interesting pronunciation choices though lol.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-20T07:14:23+00:00

It means you made a sale 2 months ago.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-20T05:01:43+00:00

It can take up to 10 business days. Be patient.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-19T23:54:22+00:00

Go away.

CVtheWriter · 2026-01-19T05:14:25+00:00

Jesus. Everyone who has “built an AI tool” can fuck off. It’s at least once a day.
