We spoke to Darren Hardy, Head of UK Author and Editorial Programmes at Amazon, to get his best tips and insights for successful publishing on Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).
-
1.Focus on writing the best book you can
“Ultimately, authors want readers and readers want to engage with a well-written book that captures their imagination.”
-
2.Ensure your book is well put together
“Editing, formatting, cover design and a compelling book description are key in attracting readers.”
-
3.Set goals over the long term
“Writing and publishing takes practice and very few authors get everything right the first time. Set realistic goals and build on your successes.”
-
4.Never stop learning
“KDP provides many resources to help authors on their journey. Indie authors can be incredibly supportive and willing to share their experiences - the KDP Community is one place you can go to learn from other authors.”
