  • With KDP, authors can publish their books in both digital (e-book) and print formats. This means you can offer your book on Kindle devices and Kindle apps, or consider publishing in the physical paperback format. Amazon handles the printing, distribution, and sales of your physical books, while you retain the rights to your content.

Critiquing

  • Character Development – Are the characters believable? Do they change as the story progresses? Do their decisions drive the story forward, or are they only reacting to things?
  • Plot Development – Did you see any twists coming? Did the plot build on itself nicely, or is it just a collection of random happenings?
  • Clear Action – Are the actions clear? Even a character walking is action. Is it over- or under-explained?
  • Dialogue – Do the characters have distinct ways of speaking? Is the dialogue flowing and believable?
  • Pacing – Does the story pull you along and keep you turning the pages? Does it ebb and flow, balancing between action and build-up nicely? Or is there too much of one or the other?
