Kindle Publishing-- Six Figures a Month for an eBook Author
On September of 2012, Amazon released information about the success of its brand-new programs for authors who want to get involved in self-publishing for Kindle. According to Amazon, 27 of the top 100 Kindle Books were created utilizing the Kindle Direct Publishing, a system that gets rid of the requirement of conventional publishers and lets authors deal with Amazon directly.
Exactly what does this mean for future authors?
Bernard Starr composed for the Huffington Post, stating that authors no longer need a publisher to sell their books. This trend of self-publishing has made authors recognize that if you're not a big-time author, publishers can do little or none for you at all.
But who were individuals who was successful in self-publishing?
Up, we have Hugh Howey, who confessed to earning six figures a month by selling his eBooks on Kindle. Before he was an author, Howey was a bookseller and a private yacht captain. Now, reports are stating that director Ridley Scott has actually optioned his story and New York publishers have approached him about book deals, however he stated that he desired to continue with self-publishing so he doesn't lose the rights to his works.
