Isabella Blake asked Kelly Coons:

When you write a book, do you get a free copy of it or do you have to buy your own book?(I know this is probably a dumb question, but I'm still curious)

Kelly Coons Authors create the original text, and some people format their own PDFs and EPUB files for the distribution of digital copies of their books, but in terms of printing, yes, you need to buy your own physical copy of book because you do not do your own printing (no one has the power of machines they need to print their own book at home).
