Overview

Self-publishing Amazon KDP: Formerly CreateSpace Self-publishing: Print on Demand (POD) paperback book Self-publishing

What you'll learn:
  • To show you how to format your manuscript for publication using Microsoft Word
  • To publish your manuscript for POD paperback distribution on Amazon using KDP Print

***Important Course Update ***

In August 2018, Amazon announced that the KDP Print web-based interface would be replacing Createspace as Amazon’s Print on Demand (POD) paperback self-publishing interface. The Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) interface will be familiar to those who have self-published Kindle eBooks on Amazon.

Section 3: Publishing Your Paperback Book via KDP

Has been added to this course to replace the original Createspace publishing instructions retained in:

Section 4: Publishing Your Book via CreateSpace
Section 5: Managing Your Books

All other sections have been kept in place since the process for formatting your document with Microsoft Word has not changed.

Since sections 4 and 5 are only of historical interest, students should skip these sections to view the course conclusion.

Note that there will be significant references to Createspace in the lectures I retained. Simply replace the word Createspace with KDPPrint when you hear it and everything should be fine.

I hope you enjoy the new course,

---Brian
