Can you still publish on Amazon as an independent author? I've been thinking about self-publishing a book, but I'm not sure if it's still possible to do so.

Yes, you can still self-publish on Amazon. Amazon provides a platform for self-published authors who want to bring their work to the world. Here’s how to get started.

• Create an Amazon account: Register for an Amazon account and create your Amazon Author Central page, where you’ll list all of your published works, including books, music, articles and more.

• Prepare your content: Format and upload your content in either Word Doc or PDF file format. Check out Amazon Kindle’s formatting guidelines to help you get started and ensure your content is optimized for readers.

• Submit your work: Once your content is uploaded, you’ll be able to submit it to Amazon for review. You can also use Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) to self-publish and manage your book on Amazon. Once your book is live, it’ll be available to millions of readers across the world.

• Promote your book: Self-promoting your book is just as important as the writing and publishing aspects. You can use Amazon’s “Tell the World about Your Book” tool to add a description, bio and social media links. You can also share your book with friends and family or run a book launch event.

Ultimately, self-publishing a book on Amazon is fairly easy and straightforward. By taking the time to create quality content and market your book correctly, you can reach a wide readership and build an online presence. Good luck!

Yes, you can still self-publish on Amazon. Here's how:

Create a Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) account. KDP is Amazon's self-publishing platform, and it's free to join. You'll need to provide your basic information and tax information, but after that, you're good to go.
Create a book. You can create a book either in Word, PDF, HTML, or other formats.
Upload and publish your book. Once you have finished formatting your book, you can upload it to KDP. Then you can set the pricing, choose the DRM options, and choose your categories, among other things.
Advertise your book. Once you have published on Amazon, you can share it with your audience through social media or email marketing. You can also use Amazon Advertising and other services to help promote your book.

Overall, self-publishing on Amazon makes it easier for authors to reach new audiences and expand their reach. It's a great way for aspiring authors to get their message out there.
