Hi PJ! I just saw your comment- I don’t know why my website didn’t notify me- I usually order my coloring books after they are live and then I can get my books for cost plus shipping. I live in the USA and I know I’m fortunate to be able to get copies of my books so I can have some on hand to use as promotional items or sell in person at small fairs and markets. I hope you contact Amazon in your country and see what they can tell you about your specific situation.
Good luck! Happy publishing

One detail: authors copies can’t be sent to some places, which means you may have to pay the normal price for them. I’ve got a normal address in a normal country (Switzerland), but I can’t get them.

I’m surprised that the Amazon paper is thick enough for colouring books. Aren’t there issues with felt-tip pens leaking through to the other side of the paper and ruining the image on the back?

Hey Kimberly, I have had all my coloring books, log books, journals and planners published on the Kindle Direct Publishing through Amazon. When you submit the book it goes through an automated review and then a physical review – as long as it doesn’t go against any of the guidelines for publishing on the KDP platform it will be published. I haven’t ever submitted to a brink and mortar publisher so I don’t have any experience with that.
There are things I love about going with Amazon KDP those being, I’m the one I control of my content, I can get a book from drawing my art to layout to publishing on just a few weeks versus a publishing house that may be over a year from submitting the book to actually have copies in my hands. Another thing I really appreciate with KDP is I’m the one I control of my art, the content and the style of my books- no one is telling me what to do or how to do it.
Have fun and good luck!

What did u have to submit and is there a guideline of steps that need to be folliwee to submit a book for print? I submitted my book three times with no response from two and one took my work and used it without my permission. How do I submit work in safe secure way to decent honest publishing company?
