Publishing critically-acclaimed authors
Amazon Publishing is a leading publisher of trade fiction, nonfiction, and children’s books. Our mission is to empower outstanding storytellers and connect them with readers worldwide. Our teams in Seattle, New York, Grand Haven, London, Luxembourg, Paris, Madrid, Milan, and Munich publish emerging, bestselling, and critically acclaimed authors in digital, print, and audio formats. With Amazon’s drive for innovation and passion for books, we merge technology and art to support our authors and help their stories change the world. Learn more.
For authors around the world, sharing their story with readers is a lifelong dream. In 2007, Amazon launched Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) to make it easier for authors to fulfill that dream. KDP offers a free, easy, and fast way to self-publish eBooks and paperbacks. With KDP, the power of publishing is accessible to authors worldwide, allowing a more robust and diverse set of voices to share stories with a wider audience than ever before. Learn more.
With the goal of helping writers tell their stories and find their readers, the Amazon Literary Partnership supports nonprofit literary organizations that share our obsession with empowering writers to create, publish, learn, teach, experiment, and thrive.
