Kindle Direct Publishing is a well-known and user-friendly platform that allows authors to publish their books on Amazon, reaching millions of readers around the world. With KDP, authors can now take control of their publishing journey and share their stories with a global audience.
One of the crucial aspects of creating a successful book is ensuring that it looks professional, both inside and out. That's why it is important to invest in a professionally designed book cover and interior. While KDP provides a free cover designer, it is essential to match your cover design with the genre of your book. We recommend engaging the services of experienced graphic designers to create a cover that stands out among the competition.
Equally essential is the interior design of a book and the content itself. Hiring an editor with experience working with publishing companies can significantly enhance the quality of a book manuscript. The editor refines the book manuscript, ensuring it resonates with the targeted audience and fits the expectations of the book genre.
Once the book cover and interior are ready, the author can easily upload them to KDP. Simply selecting the appropriate book size and choosing up to the three book categories that best represent the book.
Moreover, KDP allows authors to format book description using HTML, allowing for greater customization and presentation. Using the launch preview feature inside the Amazon KDP title setup page, authors can review the book and confirm that everything looks perfect before setting launch dates.
But that's not all! Self-publishing authors need affordable solutions to make their books available to readers everywhere. That's why self-publishing experts advise authors to purchase ISBNs instead of using the free ISBN provided by Amazon.
Free ISBN obtained from self-publishing platform like Amazon KDP, comes with restrictions on how a book can be distributed. By using an ISBN that doesn't restrict book distribution, authors can get their book published beyond Amazon.
