How to Publish Your Book on Amazon KDP: A Practical Guide for First-Time Authors
Publishing on Amazon KDP is free and can be completed in a few steps, but uploading a manuscript is not the same as releasing a professional book. Before starting, ensure your manuscript has been properly edited, your cover is ready, and you understand your pricing, royalty and ISBN options. Format ebooks and print books differently. Ebooks must reflow properly on various devices, while print books require the correct trim size, margins and page layout. Check chapter breaks, fonts, images, front matter and the table of contents carefully before upload. Your cover, title, description, categories and keyword phrases all affect whether readers notice and find your book. Use the preview tool before publishing, then review the 35% and 70% royalty options based on your price and file size. Professional help with editing, formatting, cover design or metadata may be useful, but determined authors can manage the process themselves.
