Next week I will release my long-awaited new children’s picture book.

A Reluctant Little Prince

But here is my dilemma. I’ve never participated in KDP Select and I wonder if it will be helpful.

Have any of y’all used the Select program with any success?

Is it complicated to use?

Was it effective in selling your book?

I’m filled with questions and wanted to hear from all of you before I enroll.

Here are the rules as I understand:

Sign up is for 90 days.
I can’t sell or give electronic versions during the Select period. One exception, professional reviewers. There are two promotions available.
- Kindle Countdown Deals (limited time promotional discounting for your book) and
- Free Book Promotion (readers worldwide can get your book free for a limited time).
The digital format of that book available exclusively through KDP while it’s enrolled in the program. That includes my website!
It will also be included in Kindle Unlimited (KU) and the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library (KOLL).
- As a member, I read a lot of books through KU.

So what say y’all?

What do you think about this program?
