Can i publish my ebooks at amazon kdp if i am 13?
How are you planning on receiving payment? Most of the times these things go to paypal or a bank account. If you were to make money off the book, your parents would still have a legal right to the income unless you are emancipated. Your contract would not be legally binding because of your age. The book will have whoever's name you put in when you submit it . Amazon doesn't care. Unless they directly ask your age I wouldn't worry about it. Even if they do just click the button that says you are over 18. Having a book on Amazon does not make you a published author.
Are there eBook publishers that will publish my book on Amazon and promote it?
Great question. Yes, there are ebook publishers that publish books on Amazon and promote it - for a price. Unless you find an agent and/or a traditional publisher (and you are very likely to need an agent to find a good publisher these days) do not expect an ebook publisher to handle your book for free.Book packagers/editors take your manuscript, provide copy & story editing, and do the cover and layout for a fee. It will probably cost $1,000 and up for this service. Expect to earmark that much or more for publicity. Yes, that much.You must either invest your time and work or your money to promote a book. There is no magic formula. Even with traditional publishers, authors today must do the bulk of promotion for their work. This means you’ll need to develop your online following - your platform in marketing-speak. You do this by running your own author website, finding one or more social media channels you like and cultivating a following, and writing for sites like Quora so you get known to your readers.

Yes, there are both traditional publishers and self-publishing companies that will take on work that has previously existed in some form. They may be particularly keen to do this if the previously published version has sold well or got good Amazon reader reviews. If you are not able to demonstrate that your eBook did well, then trade publishers may be harder to persuade and you might want to look at self-publishing.We often work with authors that have published an eBook and want to publish in paperback.

How difficult is it to find a publisher for my e-book?
Thanks for the A2AHow difficult is it to find a publisher for my e-book?Easy, actually. Just search for places to submit books online. The nasty part though is that most of them are predators who will charge you instead of pay you or they will steal your rights or they will never give you what you are owed.You need to research a publisher before you submit to them. Don’t trust their website to tell you the truth. Follow up and contact people who have supposedly been published by them and ask questions.There are a lot of small publishers, and even micro publishers, out there if you really just want to find a publisher to publish your ebook. A lot of them will be happy to publish your book for a cut of the profits.There are fewer who are good ones that you can trust. I would consider self publishing over many of them (which I have done), but I would also consider some of them for various other reasons (which I have done).The thing is, you are entering a business relationship with them, so you need to learn a little about them first. You wouldn’t hand $20 to a random guy on a street corner who promises to pay you $25 tomorrow, so don’t do that on the internet either.Protect yourself, do research, read the contracts, understand the contracts, always consider walking away from a contract before you actually consider accepting it—just to remind yourself you are under no obligation to sign it.Read the fine print on websites before you submit. Some of these places have legalese that tries to say they own your story even if you just send it to them.My best recommendation is to get involved with your local writing community and meet people and ask questions. I would bet there are a few micropublishers in your area you don’t know about who are wonderful. And they’d probably love to see your ebook.
Self-Publishing: How can I give away my eBook for free?
You have a few different options:Get it listed as free permanentlyMost ebook stores/distrubutors will allow you to do this simply by setting your book’s price to $0. The exception being Amazon, where you’ll need to request your book be made free. I have luck using their contact form and this script:Hey there,I've recently made "TITLE" by AUTHOR (ASIN: ########) free on a variety of other online stores. It can be found for free at the following links:**LINKS**Is it possible to get Amazon to price match this book to free please?Thank you for your time!Other authors use the “report a lower price” feature on their ebook’s page.Get it listed as free temporarily on AmazonIf you enroll in KDP Select, you can give your book away for 5 out of every 90 days.Use Smashwords couponsWith Smashwords you can create coupons for any book you own. If you have a specific target that you’d like to give the book away for free for, you can create a coupon for them to get the book for free.Give it away for free in exchange for newsletter subscribersThere’s a few different websites that allow you to do this. The main ones being Booksprout, Bookfunnel, and InstaFreebie. Bookfunnel and Instafreebie will allow you to create an individual book giveaway page. Booksprout will allow you to create an author giveaway page where you can list your book(s) and update which ones you want to offer for free without changing the link anywhere. It’s great for authors who want a single link for the back of their ebooks.Give it away on your websiteYou can use tools such as calibre to create ebooks from a .docx file. I recommend creating a MOBI, EPUB, and PDF version of it. Then, you can upload it to your website where readers can download.
Is it worth publishing your book through Amazon?
Not if you have no idea how to market it and not if you have no idea how to write a great book. (Not a great story only, the writing has to be good enough to commercially publish.) Actually, I know people who make $2000-$3000 a month from their ebooks on Amazon. No big secret, they merely learned how to write well, told a great story and then did their own marketing.
How much does it cost to publish an ebook on amazon kindle in total?
It doesn't have to cost you anything. You only have to pay for cover art, editing and formatting if you can't do them yourself or persuade someone to do them as a favour. I didn't feel the need to pay for any of those things, though I do have an excellent critique group, who find most of the things an editor would flag. The going rate for a cover is about $100-$200. Editing depends on what sort of editing you need, and how much work there is for the editor to do. The going rate for a full edit of a novel-length manuscript is around $2,500. Converting the book from a wordprocessor document to whatever ebook format you need is about $50. EDIT: Amazon pay by electronic transfer direct to your bank account, or by cheque (check). They pay monthly, approximately 60 days after the end of the calendar month in which sales occur. So for sales in August, for instance, you'll be paid around the beginning of November. However, if they owe you less than $10 (if they're paying you electronically) or $100 (if they're paying you by cheque), they hold onto the money until next month.
