The creation of your book is the next step I want to share. Whether you have a completed manuscript or you plan to write from scratch, it's best to have thoughts for an end result in place. For most of us, that is having our story published.
To follow along with my tips please visit this page: Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.
I have had good results using Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. It was easy to download onto my computer, but this is a HUGE IF. If I had carefully read each link and the accompanying forums, I would have saved myself some anxious and confused moments. Please don't be like me, read all the information possible before you begin.
First, I wish I had found the Word templates right at the start. Using these would have saved me hours trying to get the formatting right in the Kindle Direct Publishing App. Here is a page with all the information, including a YouTube video on downloading and using the templates in Word.
Paperback and Hardcover Templates
Amazon has so much faith in your book that they want to help you set up an account to get paid and pay taxes. It has worked for me. I have had a few royalties from my book. The payment from Amazon goes directly into the checking account I provided for them. At times, before sending royalties, they will pay .01 into my account to ensure the process goes smoothly. They have notified me of this intention before they proceed.
The next step is to download Kindle Create to your computer. I have an older computer; it is slow and glitchy, but the program easily downloaded into it. Any updates to the program have not caused any problems.
I will write more next week about how I used Kindle Create. It's a great program; any problems I had were created by not reading all the information.
