About this listen

Writing and self-publishing on Amazon can sound like a dream, but it's much simpler than you think. With the publishing tools Amazon has available - Kindle, CreateSpace, ACX - it would be easy to get overwhelmed, though. Still, self-publishing is an easy way to get your content out to the most listeners as quickly as possible on a globally distributed platform in various digital, paperback, hard cover, audio CD, and downloadable audiobook formats. However, you really must take the time to write quality content before you are ready to publish.

Take a moment and consider why you want to publish on your topic.

Is it to make a name for yourself? Is it to educate the masses? Is it to share with the world an idea previously unwritten?

These are all laudable reasons for wanting to publish. In fact, there are hundreds of reasons to want to publish, and there's no reason why you can't self-publish through Amazon and get your work out to the world. Self-publishing is simple and does not require rejection from publisher after publisher. Get your book out in the world!

Create your content and publish on the Amazon platform of your choice using this handy guide. We will walk you through, minute by minute, how to publish via Kindle Direct Publishing, CreateSpace, and the Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX). With just this one guide, you will have the keys to publishing on three high-volume platforms and getting your work out to the masses.

These platforms are excellent ways to leverage both your writing and your time. Don't wait. Download this audiobook to learn how to write and publish on Amazon Kindle, CreateSpace, and ACX.

Listener received this title free

This book was short and to the point with specific guidance on how to publish with Amazon Kindle, Createspace, and Audible. It was a quick read. I listened on a faster speed because the narrator was slower than I liked. However, the narrator was efficient and pleasant and the content was informative. This was a good book with good information and a quick listen.

Solid Information

The narration is good and the audiobook covers all the main points you need to get your book written and published on Amazon KDP. As you can imagine, the Self-Publishing platform (Kindle Direct Publishing) moves fast with changes nearly each month or so. From this point of view I found some of the suggestions a little old and occasionally misplaced. An updated version for 2019 would be welcome.

Covers all the basics: best for first time authors
