Publishing paperback and hardcover in the Netherlands is now available!

 Panzer had just started eating his dinner, when he heard clapping and cheering coming from the Catosphere. Hopping in the Panzermobile, our brave kitty boy followed all the joyful noise to the KDP site. There he found an announcement about publishing in the Netherlands.

Another market?

According to the post, effective January 31 KDP began distribution of paperback and hardcover books in the Netherlands. You must have worldwide, EU or UK distribution selected for your books to be eligible for the program. The end of the post includes links to instructions for changing your distribution if you need to.

 

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Guess I better have Mom go check our books."

 

Note: This is a short post. Bring a cup of cocoa for your reading. If you plan to follow the links, you probably don't want to bring anything else to eat or drink so you can concentrate on learning what to do.

Today Panzer decided to make a stop at the Publishing Perspectives site. With a little digging in the posts our inquisitive kitty found one about Wattpad Studios.

 

According to the post by Porter Anderson, Wattpad Studios and NL Film have entered into a new production agreement. Aron Levitz of Wattpad Studios in Toronto, Canada, and Kaja Wolffers of NL Film in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, will work with Samya Hafsaoui for the film production of her novel. Samya Hafsaoui's Dutch Wattpad novel '36 Questions (and lots of coffee)' is translated as a serial each week on the English-speaking Wattpad. Included in the post are links to previous posts about Wattpad and NL Film and a link to Samya Hafsaoui's Wattpad site.

Panzer was shaken awake from his nap by clapping and cheering coming from the Catosphere. Hopping into the Panzermobile, our sleep-deprived kitty followed all the noise to the Publishing Perspectives site. With a little digging he found a post about Canadian company Wattpad Studios.

Here's Panzer's second post from the Catosphere today. Our traveling kitty boy went to the Rakuten Kobo site for a little visit. There with some digging in the news room he found a post about the new Kobo Originals program.
