      Where to Publish Your Book

      You have written a book. Congratulations! Or perhaps you are still writing your book, and want to learn how to publish it when you are done.

      Your first question may be: Where can I publish my book?

      It depends upon whether you’d like to publish an ebook or a print book.

      Let’s start with ebooks.

      Publish Your eBook

      The main platforms to publish your ebook include Amazon KDP (for Kindle books), Barnes & Noble Press for Nook, Smashwords, Kobo, and Apple Books. There are others, as well, but I will focus upon these five, because they are the biggest retail outlets for ebooks.

      Amazon is by far the largest seller of ebooks. You can upload your book through their KDP platform. Then you can choose whether or not to include your book in their KDP Select program. If you choose this option, then you promise Amazon that you will not distribute your book anywhere else for a three month period. (This also means that you cannot offer it for free on BookFunnel or Prolific Works (formerly Instafreebie) for free, either.) You can choose whether that period automatically renews or not.

      Here is more information about KDP Select:

      https://kdp.amazon.com/help/topic/A6KILDRNSCOBA?ref_=kdp_PM_faq

      You can, of course, choose not to enter the KDP Select program. Then your book will still be available on Amazon, but you will also be able to distribute it and upload it to other retailers, too.

      There are pros and cons to using KDP Select, compared to going wide and using regular KDP and distributing your book to other retailers. KDP Select offers advantages to you if you make your book exclusively available on Amazon.

      Some experts recommend that you use KDP Select for your first book(s), and then go wide as you publish more books. Going wide in this
