How to Publish and Market Printed Books Using Amazon KDP

By Michelle Skolyak and Open Theory Cove

Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing has made something remarkable possible: any author can publish a professionally printed book and have it available for sale on Amazon within days - no publisher required, no minimum print run, no upfront inventory cost.

The hard part isn't publishing. It's publishing well.

How to Publish and Market Printed Books Using Amazon KDP is the guide serious authors reach for when they're ready to do this right. It covers everything: the file requirements and formatting workflows that produce print-ready interiors, the cover design decisions that determine whether a browser stops or scrolls past, the pricing math that maximizes your royalty, the metadata strategy that makes your book findable, and the marketing playbook - from pre-launch ARC teams through Amazon advertising and long-term discoverability - that turns a published book into one that actually sells.

No fluff. No oversimplification. Just a complete, honest, practical guide to KDP print publishing - written for authors who take their work seriously.

If you've written a book worth reading, this book helps you make sure it gets read.
