Who Can Become an Author on Amazon KDP?

Who Can Sell on Amazon KDP?

In essence: Anyone! Whether you're a student with a fun story to tell, a budding poet, an expert in some field, or an experienced writer. Amazon KDP is open to all. You can publish eBooks or printed books, both paperback and hardcover or all three if you wish. The KDP platform gives you total control over how you want to share your book with the world.

Getting Started

First, you’ll need to create a KDP account. To create your account you must be at least 18 years old. But for younger authors, you can set up an account with the help of a parent or guardian. From there, you can upload your manuscript and book cover, set your price, and submit it, and once approved it will become live and available for sale on Amazon. There is more to how to create and upload a book but this is the basic idea of how it works.
