Why Amazon setup matters
Amazon sells the majority of books bought online in the US, and nearly every self-published author starts there. But uploading a file to Kindle Direct Publishing is only the beginning. The categories you choose, the keywords you enter and the way your description reads decide whether your book shows up in front of the readers who would buy it.
Our KDP specialists have set up hundreds of titles. We know the file specifications, the review pitfalls and the metadata details that separate a book that sells from one that sits unseen.
