Your First Step to Self-Publishing Success
A Sneak Peek at Uploading Your Novel to Amazon KDP
Self-publishing your novel can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.
In my latest post on Substack, The Author Expert: How To Get Your Book Onto Amazon KDP (Without Losing Your Mind), I share a step-by-step guide on how to upload your manuscript to Amazon’s KDP system as I upload my latest book, Death’s Cold Hand, in my Solomon Gray series with screenshots taken as I work through the process.
This post is for the authors ready to take control of their publishing journey. Whether you’re looking to reach millions of readers worldwide or just want to understand the nuts and bolts of the process.
This guide walks you through:
Creating Your Book Listing: From titles and series details to contributors and copyright.
Perfecting the Details Page: Choosing the right categories, keywords, and metadata to maximise visibility.
Uploading Your Manuscript and Cover: Why quality and genre-specific designs matter.
Setting Your Price and Royalties: How to optimise pricing for your target market.
I even reveal insider tips on using tools like Publisher Rocket to find those all-important categories and keywords. Plus, there are actual screenshots from my latest upload, Death’s Cold Hand, in the Solomon Gray series to show you exactly how it’s done.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to self-publish like a pro, now’s your chance to dive in.
