Thank you for reading this Free PDF. 

I created it because I met several persons who were not able to self­

publish their eBook on Amazon. They said:

 I haven`t the knowledge to do it. As I truly dislike Vanity Publishing, no

one should pay to get an eBook on Amazon or to get their PDF

transformed to Kindle files.

It`s free and it`s the beauty of self­publishing.

 After having a look at this PDF you`ll be able to use Amazon to            

self­publish your next eBook. 

All the pictures used are the property of camillesolutions.com and are here

to help have a better understanding of Kindle Direct Publishing platform.

Why self-publish?

You are writing a book and you are thinking about the next step.

You want to build everything by yourself.

BUT

Are you ready for hard work? 

If the answer is yes, keep reading. 

Why is self-publishing hard work? 

Self­publish your book is hard work because you are on your own. 

You'll have to proof­read, edit, design your cover and promote your

book without the resources from an editor. 

Think about it. 

Do you still want to do it? 

Many authors are self­published so, why can't you?

What now?

Proof­read

Ask a friend, someone you trust,

or hire a professional proof­reader.

Advice : if you can, print a copy, It'll be easier to proof­read your

book this way.

Edit

This is the big part of your work. 

Have a look inside a few books and keep the great ideas.

Take your time for proof­reading.

Don't rush yourself but set clear objectives everyday.
