When I submitted it, it said it could take up to 72 hours, as they would need to check that it doesn’t violate any of their standards. How much would you pay for a book by an author you’ve never heard of, who has no reviews? How Long Does it Take to go Live? My suggestion would be to look at Amazon’s recommendations as well as other books in your genre and be realistic. How can you put a price on all the blood sweat, editing and tears that went into creating it? Once you’re happy with that, it’s time to think about what you’re going to charge. You need to make sure that the way you’ve laid out your book in Word or wherever, works on the different devices. It allows you to see what your book will look like on a Kindle, tablet and phone. Once you’ve added your manuscript and cover, you can preview it.
IS KINDLE DIRECT PUBLISHING WORTH IT TRIAL
I chose to use the free 30 day trial and will definitely be signing up once that’s over because the amount of options that they have could satisfy a person with a thousand books that need covering. They’re brilliant because they have a basic option as well as a paid for option. I did give these a good look but couldn’t find one that I felt matched the style that I wanted to go for. Kindle give you the option to choose from their selection of front covers for your book. You can do both but I chose to go the ebook route.Īs you can see from the image, they’ve laid it all out pretty nicely and it’s easy to follow. Once you’re in, you’ll need to pick whether you’re creating an ebook or a paperback. Don’t worry, I just googled it for the UK, we’re all good, we have our National Insurance numbers to deal with all that. You’ll also need to know about your country’s tax paying info as Amazon is american. Then they’re going to ask you for your account details for getting paid, which is exciting. Sign Upįirst of all you’re going to need an account, if you already have an Amazon account you can use this to log in. However, when it comes to Amazon, you are in control and their set up is pretty simple, so as long as you’ve got the push to get yourself going, you can do it. So that’s made me feel like the whole publishing process is a complete nightmare. I think I thought it would be harder than it was, purely because trying to get an agent or publisher to look at your work can be practically impossible. I found the whole process pretty painless, so thought I would write up my thoughts on the matter, just in case anyone else out there was thinking of doing the same. It’s called The Maid of Honour’s Tale and is the first part of the The Wedding Party series. I’ve just released my first short story on Kindle Direct Publishing or KDP.
