Publishing Wide vs. Publishing Exclusive to Amazon

Should I publish my novel exclusively with Amazon, or should I publish wide? In this episode, Ryan draws from his own experience using both strategies to help you decide what's best for you, your goals, and your author business. Discover the details of how Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing Select service (oftentimes colloquially referred to as "Kindle Unlimited") actually works for readers and writers, as well as the various benefits and drawbacks for publishing exclusively to Amazon versus publishing to all of the major retailers like Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Google Play, and Kobo.

Key Topics:

• How the mechanics of KDP Select program works and how authors get paid when they enroll
• Why some genres are better fits for Kindle Unlimited and vice versa
• The potential difficulties you might encounter with both strategies, from marketing to competition
• Accessing international markets and selling books direct
