In this special behind-the-scenes episode of the Spotlight Series, host Nicole Louise Geddes sits down with Jo Wildsmith, the Amazon publishing expert who helped bring "Spotlight on Success" from manuscript to bestseller.

Discover the intricate world of book publishing, from formatting and categorisation to navigating Amazon's algorithms. Jo shares her expertise in print-on-demand publishing, reveals her favourite moment in the publishing process, and explains why success goes far beyond that coveted bestseller badge.

What You'll Learn:

• The technical process of publishing a book on Amazon KDP
• How to select the right categories and keywords for discoverability
• The importance of professional formatting and why it matters
• Print-on-demand opportunities beyond books (merchandise, clothing, etc.)
• Why the bestseller badge is just the beginning of a book's journey
• The art and science of Amazon category selection

Key Quotes: "Success for me is when you get that magical feeling where everything is in flow and you are firing on all cylinders."

"My very favourite part is where I first show it to the author and it no longer looks like that document. It looks like a book."

"It's not just all about the bestseller. It's about where the book goes afterwards, who it reaches, who it speaks to, who it helps."
