I decided to bypass Smashwords and just uploaded mine directly. I was wondering how long it will sit in "pending". Anyone else do this?
I would really like to, but from what I've read, you can only submit from an apple computer, and I don't own one yet.
I haven't tried it yet because I'm already submitting through Smashwords and have used their ISBN. If I opt out of Smashwords, can I still upload directly and continue to use their ISBN noting them as the publisher? Deb
Self-published to iBookstore Hi, It took about 5 days for my self-published book to be up on iBookstore. Now my question is, how do you follow the ranking? Marla Heller, The DASH Diet Action Plan
Hmmm... my novel ("Firefly Island") was pending for only a few days. I hope they approve your book soon!
I went the smashwords route. What are the advantages of bypassing SW? Aside from not sharing royalties?
One has to have a US Tax ID to be able to use Apple iBook publishing. That sucks. They don't cater for people outside of the US?
Looks like it's live now. Thanks everyone!! http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/the-second-coming/id383258230?mt=11
