Print-on-demand company BookVault recently shared an article where they compared themselves with Amazon KDP. In the piece, I found out how TrustPilot has less than stellar reviews about KDP. Also, Book Brush is hosting it's first ever virtual conference for book marketing. Smashwords and Draft2Digital announce the upcoming free book promotion for authors. And, YouTuber SD Huston hosts the biggest YouTube author collaborations this week called the Authortube Writing Conference. All that and more in this week's self-publishing news.
