Publishing and Review
To publish on Kindle, your content file needs to be in a Supported Format and must adhere to these Content Guidelines.
For help with building your book, see our Simplified Guide.
You'll need a KDP account to publish. You can use the same credentials from your Amazon.com account, or create a new account using Account Creation.
Once you're ready to begin, log in to your KDP account at http://kdp.amazon.com and click Create new title.
Then, complete the fields for Step 1 (Your Book) and Step 2 (Rights & Pricing) and you'll be ready to publish.
Steps 1 and 2 are split into four categories (click the links for detailed instructions):
1. Entering Product Details
2. Uploading and Previewing Book Content
3. Confirming Publishing Rights
4. Entering Pricing and Royalty Information
When you have completed all of the required information, click "Save and publish" to submit your book to the Kindle Store!
Usually it takes about 12 hours for your book to be available for purchase online. If you already have a physical book for sale on Amazon.com, please review Linking your Kindle Edition to Print Editions.
Please note that some elements such as the product description can take up to 72 hours to propagate to the title’s detail page, but customers will be able to purchase the book once it has been published to the site.
