How To Self Publish Your Book With Amazon Kindle

By Leigh Burke on April 8, 2019

Getting your book published can be a daunting and time-consuming task. Especially for new writers who have yet to attain recognition and make connections in the industry. Writing and crafting a meaningful book is already a lot of hard-work but then getting your book published by meeting a lot of publishers and the fear of rejection is the worst nightmare of a writer.

But hold on. That’s not a problem at all. Because, all thanks to Amazon KDP, now you can easily self-publish your books worldwide whether they’re eBooks or paperbacks within just 5 minutes. In addition, you can also reach millions of viewers, get your book reviews, and make a lot more money with Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.

So, here we present you an easy guide on how you can publish your book via Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing:

Bookshelf
