How do I set up a series title?

Notjohn · 10-20-2015, 11:01 AM

Not a formatting question, but a publishing question:

On the Amazon publishing platform (KDP) how do I indicate the name of the series? All I see in the setup is the title - the sub-title - and the option to enter a numeral indicating the book's place in the series. But what series, exactly? Is that part of the sub-title?

Thanks! --NJ

This turns out to have been no issue. Once I click on the Series option, the window for the series title opens up. It is automagically added in parens after the sub-title, with the book number (except for Book 1, which oddly isn't numbered).

Oh, so I guess the reason all those books have the series repeated two or three times is because the fools who uploaded them stuck the series in the title already?

Why am I not surprised that usually happens with BPH books?
