Approval
Let me walk people through the steps for approval for one of my books to go live.
step 1 write book
step 2 beta readers
step 3 multiple rounds of editing
step 4 formatting
step 5 CreateSpace build back cover (Athena designs front)
step 6 submit files for approval
step 7 book gets filed and goes live
we are in step 6, it can take 24 hours, usually it does not. Step 7 can take 24 hours, but it usually does not. It may go live tomorrow, maybe in the morning. The kindle version takes longer only because we do print first, then approval for Kindle happens after, so probably by the afternoon, but it can take as long as 24 hours. I have it set to go immediately live upon approval. That’s the best I can do.
