How these authors found success with Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing

More independent authors than ever before are using Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)—and they are reaping the rewards. The number of authors earning $50,000 or more in royalties increased 40% between March 2022 and March 2020, when the pandemic began and many authors found more time to write. In the last two years, KDP has also expanded print book availability to Australia, Japan, and the Netherlands, and made distribution off Amazon available in the UK. Now, millions of writers around the world use KDP to build successful careers with self-publishing.
