Writer, journalist and bestselling Kindle author Steven Lewis speaking to a group of future self-publishers
Self-publishing your own books on Amazon is a no brainer, especially when you read so much about authors having incredible success self-publishing Kindle ebooks. Unfortunately, working out what you need, where to start and how to succeed isn’t easy. You can pick up a bit here, a bit there, but it’s confusing and sometimes contradictory.
That’s certainly what I found when I went to publish my first book on the Kindle.
I now have four books on the Kindle and two of them are bestsellers.
Making it easy for you
Self-publishing for the Kindle has been such a rewarding experience for me that I wanted to help other authors self-publish their books on Amazon without wasting time trying to find the right information.
I developed a seminar for writers like you who are considering publishing on the Kindle but who want a solid foundation of knowledge about what it takes. It’s sold out every time and the feedback has been wonderful.
I called the seminar the Kindle Publishing Roadmap.
