Consider using BookSurge, an affiliate of Amazon that assists with book design, copy editing and promotion. Authors receive 35 percent royalty on sales and enter into a non-exclusive agreement, which allows you to seek publication of your work through traditional publication outlets at any time.
Consider adding your work to Amazon's Kindle Store, where readers can purchase your work to read on the Kindle wireless reading device. If you don't already have an Amazon account, sign up for one to begin the Kindle publishing process.
Before publishing content to Amazon, read the Digital Text Platform (DTP) Quickstart Guide. The guide takes you through the publishing process step by step.
Log in to DTP and click on "MyShelf." Click the "Add New Item" button to open a pop-up box prompting you to enter product details, such as the title and author name. You can also add keywords for your book, which makes it friendly to searches, leads to more product views and, in the long run, the potential for greater profit. After entering the product information, click "Save" before proceeding to the next step.
Proceed to "Upload and Preview." Browse to the file on your computer that you would like to upload. According to the Quickstart Guide, HTML files translate formatting the most seamlessly, but you can upload other document types, such as .doc, .txt and .pdf. After you upload your file uploaded and conversion is finished, you will be prompted to edit your work.
Click "Preview" to proofread and edit your work. Because formatting can be lost or not translate as you intended during the conversion process, it is a good idea to thoroughly read through your document. To make changes to the document, download, edit, re-upload and then save your work.
Enter the list price. This is the retail price and you can set it anywhere from 99 cents to $200. After completing this final step, click the "Publish" button. Your work will appear in the Kindle store within 72 hours, and in the Amazon global catalog within a week.
