Publishing a book on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Write and Format Your Book:

Write your book using a word processing software like Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Format it properly, ensuring consistent fonts, headings, and spacing. For eBooks, formatting should be simple to ensure a good reading experience on various devices.

If you don’t have one already, go to the Amazon KDP website (kdp.amazon.com) and create an account using your Amazon credentials.

Add a New Kindle eBook:

Once logged in, click on the “Create a Kindle eBook” button on your KDP dashboard.

Enter Book Details:

• • Book Details: Enter the title, subtitle, and author name as you want them to appear on Amazon.
  • Series Info (if applicable): If your book is part of a series, you can enter the series title and number.
  • Edition Number: If it’s a new edition, indicate the edition number.

Congratulations, Your eBook is Live:

Once your eBook is approved, it will be available for purchase on Amazon’s Kindle Store. You can monitor sales and make updates to your book details or pricing through your KDP dashboard.
