How does a new KDP writer supposed to market a book?

C) Persuade book reviewers on BookTok or Substack or someplace to recommend your book. If your book is unreadably terrible, this is probably impossible.

D) that are presented with bad covers, bad descriptions, or ludicrously bad interior formatting.

Or

Are you planning to proofread your book to avoid sentences such as
