Getting Started with Amazon KDP
God Gave You the Message. This Book Gets It Published.You know God gave you a message. You just don't know how to get it published.

Getting Started with Amazon KDP walks you through publishing your book — paperback and Kindle — in ten steps you can actually follow. No agent. No publisher. No permission required.
Inside, you'll learn how
Set up your KDP account and get both editions live, step by stepChoose the categories and keywords that decide whether readers ever find your bookPrice your book with a clear understanding of how Amazon royalties workSort out ISBNs, KDP Select and distribution before you commit to any of themUnderstand your formatting options and sidestep the problems that get files rejectedInvite readers into your ministry, coaching or speaking without sounding salesy
Why listen to me?
I've written more than thirty books and sold over 1.5 million copies. I've published traditionally and I've published independently. I've made plenty of mistakes along the way, and I'll tell you about them so you don't have to repeat them. And I've walked a lot of other writers through this process, which means I know exactly where people get stuck—usually in the same handful of places.
The Christian Author's Guide
This one is written for people who believe God handed them something to say and want a clear path to getting it into print.
Whether you're writing for your congregation, your clients, or a reader you'll never meet, becoming an author lets your message travel far past the people you can reach in person.
Your message deserves better than a hard drive.

81 books156 followersAre you longing to Do What Matters?
To live a life that actually counts for the Kingdom?
Do you read the great stories of how God worked throughout church history – and think: YES, that’s what I want to be part of!
I write books to empower women to Do What Matters - for their personal well-being, to strengthen their key relationships and most of all, to make a difference in this world.
Many people have been blessed by my free Make Today Great Daily Planning Form - you are welcome to grab a copy at www.donnapartow.com/great
My current mission is raising up an army of Kingdom-minded digital nomads. I keep scratching my head, wondering when the church is going to figure out that the greatest opportunity in history is right here, right now. It’s called location independence and it means you can live and work anywhere in the world you feel called to make a difference.
If you’re ready to combine your love for God, the thrill of travel and the skill required to build an online presence, then I invite you to come away with me to be trained at the annual Lifestyle Freedom Event.

Donna is a Christian author, writing for those aspiring to become Christian writers. Partow’s belief in and her walk with god guides what she says and how she says it, but there’s a great deal of very useful instruction to be found in getting started with Amazon KDP for every writer aspiring to become a best seller using KDP, even the most secular, the most worldly of writers.
To benefit the most from this book, you will need to read it at least twice. Read it through the first time to get a feel for what Donna is going to teach you. Then go back and read it a second time, doing the hands-on exercises that Donna asks you to do. Two reading will not be enough. This is a book that you will want to keep on your reference shelf, to refer to, time and time again, as you work with KDP. This book is a keeper.

Huge Help!
Took the guesswork out of what to do on KDP. Donna is a very encouraging and easy to understand author.

This was a good guide, but had a lot of plugs, which is understandable.
Everyone should read this book who wants to start writing on KDP
