Before you can publish your work through Amazon’s instant publishing service, you’ll want to make sure that you’ve polished it to the best of your ability. Scan your final draft for typos, syntactical errors and passages that are unnecessary or difficult to follow. Trim as much as you can to really tighten up your composition.  Rigorous editing is key to publishing good literature. The easier it is to read your book, the better it will be received. Amazon has a strict set of content quality standards, so if your book is riddled with mistakes, it could be rejected.  Consider having someone else, like a trusted friend or even a professional editor, proofread your book before submitting it. Visit the Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) website and click the option to create a new account. There, you can input your personal information, including your name (or the name of your independent publishing company), address, zip code, email and phone number. Amazon will use the contact information you provide to send you important notifications throughout the publication process.  KDP will also collect some basic tax information, including your social security number and Individual Taxpayer Identification, for the purpose of managing taxes and royalty payments once you start to make sales. If you already have an account with Amazon, you can use your login info to create a separate KDP profile. With KDP, you have the option of having your book printed as a traditional paperback or in digital e-reader form. Consider which would be the better way to present your work. If your book is a young adult thriller, for instance, it may have more appeal to paperback collectors, while a self-help will be more accessible to those doing their reading on a mobile device.  The amount of royalties you collect will differ depending on the format you select. Authors stand to receive 70% of the unit price for each digital copy sold, and as much as 80% for physical copies. Amazon will claim a small percentage of each sale to recoup the printing costs of paperback books. If you’ve written your book on a standard word processor like Microsoft Word, it will have to be reformatted in order to display properly in either e-reader or paperback form. Fortunately, Amazon has made this easy by providing a few useful guides for helping you prepare your work with minimal hassle. Follow the steps outlined in the tutorials on the KDP website to get your book looking presentable.  You also have the option to make use of multiple premade templates if you’re publishing a paperback.  Using a format like PDF or MOBI will preserve the formatting of your original composition when it comes time to upload it, along with any graphics or additional text elements you’ve included.
