Hi, did you know you can publish paperback and e-books for FREE on Amazon? Amazon print-on-demand is the cheapest and quickest way to get your materials into print… and you keep the royalties!

We’ve published over 100 French book translations in the last decade. At times we’ve gone from a completed translation to a published book in a week or less.

Here are the 8 easy steps you can follow to quickly publish print resources on Amazon.

  1. KDP ACCOUNT: Set up a free account with Kindle Direct Publishing (“KDP”). Create a new paperback file.
  2. PERMISSION: If you are not the author, get written permission from the author and/or publisher.
  3. ISBN: KDP can assign an International Standard Book Number (“ISBN”) and insert the bar code automatically.
  4. FORMATTING: Format your book interior using one of the page sizes approved by KDP.
  5. COVER: Create your book cover (front, back, spine) using KDP size specifications.
  6. PROOFREADING: Export the book interior and cover as PDF files, proofread them and make corrections.
  7. FILE UPLOADS: Upload the book interior and cover to KDP, preview, then click “Approve”.
  8. PUBLISHING: Enter information including pricing details. Click “Publish” and wait 3 days for approval.

This process allows you to self-publish a paperback book on Amazon. You can use the KDP “Create Kindle eBook” feature for an electronic version of your book.

It’s free and easy to publish your resources… in both English and other languages!

Have a great day!
