About Amazon KDP

 

I use the Amazon KDP print-on-demand platform. When you order one of my books (thank  you), I pass the details to Amazon KDP and they print the book at whichever of their many print facilities is nearest you. Then they deliver it using a tracked courier service.

 

This is actually a pretty good service. It's reliable and it means I can supply books from my desk to just about anywhere on the planet. However, I can't sign books (which some people ask me to do) because I literally never see the book that gets delivered to you.

​

It's not an instant service. They can't supply 'next day delivery' because they aren't supplying from stock. Under normal circumstances, delivery used to take about 7 - 12 days. When Covid came along, this added a few extra days of delay.

​

If you're interested in my writing services, and in particular if you want me to help you self-publish your book, I can guide you through the whole Amazon KDP process.

​

(Update: February 2021) I currently can't supply books to Australia because Amazon and the Australian government seem to be having a dispute. I also can't supply to most addresses in Switzerland because of a strange 'trading zone' restriction. This has nothing to do with Brexit — it was an issue even before Brexit was thought of.

​

If you're in Australia or Switzerland, you can get my books but you just have to order them from Amazon instead of from me.
