We believe that if you write a book, you should be able to publish it. Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) empowers you to do just that—it's an easy-to-use self-publishing service that lets anyone who has a story publish it. Whether it's a book you wrote years ago or a short story you wrote last month and want to share with readers, KDP empowers writers to bring their work to readers in Amazon Stores around the world in ebook and paperback.
I used Amazon's technology to blow through all the traditional gatekeepers. Can you imagine how that feels, after struggling so hard, for so long, for every...single...reader?
With KDP, writers become published authors. You upload your own content. Write your own sales copy. Decide how much your book should cost. And once published your book will appear on Amazon within two days. As an author, you can also distribute your book globally and publish your book in multiple languages. You keep your copyrights and derivative rights. You publish on your own schedule. Another win for KDP authors—you get paid royalties of up to 70%.
