HII!! I've been such a huge huge fan of your work since I was younger and wanted to pop in and say hi!! I did have a quick question too if okay!!
I'm writing a book atm and am trying to decide where to publish it. I see that the Strong Hearts are Mandatory books are on Amazon, with a paperback version available!! Is the paperback copy published through Amazon itself? And if so (or really whoever the publisher is), do you still have full rights to your characters?? I'd assume so thanks to their TH profiles, but want to check anyways!! I would love to have an optional paperback copy (since many of my friends prefer physical rather than digital), but want to keep all rights, as the characters are dear to my heart. Hopefully this makes sense!! Tysm :D!
AAAH OH MY GOSH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! <333 That means so much to me! YES they are on amazon and it's because I published originally through Createspace and then Amazon bought them up! So right now my distributor is through kdp and is still a print-on-demand process, and YES I do have the full rights, HOWEVER that is because I bought my own ISBN number and didn't use Amazon's free-to-use one! So you can publish through Amazon but still keep all the rights.
My process is after finishing your book, having it edited (if you don't know one online or locally you can find one through https://reedsy.com/ ) getting beta readers (usually close friends or people you know and trust with a small signature claiming they promise not to redistribute or copy your work) and then formatting it to what you're happy with, which I got a template through createspace but I'm not sure if they're available anymore but there are ones likely via google.
After that go to either your townhall or check out https://www.copyright.gov/ to see how you can get your works copyrighted to yourself!
That was my path to self publishing! I wish you the best and appreciate your questions and hope I could help! ^ ^ I'd love to see what you end up creating. My discord server has a few other self-published authors who I often do trades and chat with here on TH as well and it's just been awesome to be around other content-creators going forward with their stories! You have very lovely characters, I can't wait to see the tale come to fruition! :D
AAA this is super helpful!! I will keep all of this in mind if I make a published version!! :0
And I’d love to join that Discord server as well if possible!! I would love to see other works that people make, and maybe get tips for my own project!! ^^
Sure! It's a SFW server so make sure you have a sfw social media to link if you join and don't link or mention anything 17+! https://discord.gg/phiaphanatics

This was my distributor who I publish with now https://kdp.amazon.com/ and when they prompt you for an ISBN number you can get one through here https://www.myidentifiers.com/
