Cada vez más personas buscan modelos de negocio digitales que puedan comenzar con una inversión baja y sin necesidad de manejar inventario. En ese escenario, Amazon KDP continúa siendo una de las alternativas más atractivas para generar ingresos vendiendo libros digitales y físicos bajo demanda. Sin embargo, el mercado también evolucionó y hoy publicar un libro ya no es suficiente para obtener resultados. David Millares, Publishing Coach especializado en Amazon KDP, explica qué cambió en la plataforma y qué estrategias siguen funcionando para quienes quieren empezar en 2026. Una de las principales ventajas de Amazon KDP sigue siendo su baja barrera de entrada. A diferencia de otros modelos de e-commerce, no requiere invertir miles de dólares en inventario ni preocuparse por la logística. "La mayoría de los negocios requieren una gran inversión, pero Amazon KDP es la excepción. Y hoy se puede hacer hasta con IA", comenta nuestro invitado. Sin embargo, David aclara que utilizar Inteligencia Artificial no garantiza el éxito. Lo verdaderamente importante es detectar oportunidades de mercado y crear productos que respondan a una demanda real, en lugar de publicar únicamente sobre temas que nos interesan personalmente. La elección del nicho es probablemente la decisión más importante de todo el proceso. Según David, muchos libros fracasan antes de publicarse simplemente porque fueron dirigidos al público equivocado: "El nicho es lo principal. Si lo eliges mal, las ventas de ese libro no van a ser rentables". Además, recomienda evitar contenidos demasiado estacionales y enfocarse en necesidades que mantengan una demanda constante durante todo el año. Dentro de ese análisis también influye el tipo de contenido. Actualmente Amazon exige determinados precios mínimos en varias categorías, por lo que algunos formatos dejaron de ser competitivos. Por esa razón, David aconseja apostar por libros de alto contenido, aquellos que realmente ayudan al lector a resolver un problema específico, como los relacionados con desarrollo personal, productividad o autoayuda. Una vez definido el producto, comienza el verdadero trabajo de posicionamiento. La publicidad dentro de Amazon se ha convertido en una herramienta importante para ganar visibilidad: "Las ads te ayudan a diferenciarte de la competencia y a rankear ciertos libros". En un marketplace con miles de publicaciones similares, aparecer en las primeras posiciones puede marcar una gran diferencia en las ventas. Pero antes de que un lector haga clic en un anuncio, existe otro elemento que resulta decisivo: la portada. David sostiene que muchos autores subestiman su importancia: "Si no tienes una portada que sea buena, no vas a vender, porque no llama la atención de los compradores". La portada funciona como la primera impresión del producto y, en muchos casos, determina si un usuario decide conocer más o continúa buscando otras opciones. El posicionamiento también depende de un correcto trabajo de palabras clave. Elegir los términos adecuados facilita que el algoritmo de Amazon muestre el libro cuando un potencial comprador realiza una búsqueda: "Las palabras clave son muy importantes. Deben ser fáciles para que el usuario lo encuentre fácilmente". Del mismo modo, antes de definir el precio final conviene investigar qué está haciendo la competencia para encontrar un punto competitivo dentro del mercado. En el caso de los libros físicos, Amazon también simplifica gran parte del proceso. La plataforma proporciona las medidas estandarizadas para el tamaño y grosor del libro, mientras que el sistema de impresión bajo demanda evita la necesidad de imprimir grandes cantidades de ejemplares por adelantado. Cada venta genera una impresión individual y Amazon se encarga de toda la producción y logística, descontando los costos correspondientes antes de transferir las regalías al autor. Finalmente, David destaca que hoy publicar un buen libro ya no alcanza para diferenciarse. Agregar elementos adicionales, como una página web, videos, recursos descargables o cualquier beneficio complementario, aumenta considerablemente el valor percibido del producto. En un mercado cada vez más competitivo, ese valor agregado puede convertirse en el factor que incline la decisión de compra. Amazon KDP sigue ofreciendo una oportunidad interesante para quienes buscan construir un negocio digital con poca inversión inicial. Sin embargo, el éxito ya no depende solamente de escribir un libro. Elegir correctamente el nicho, entender la demanda, optimizar el posicionamiento y ofrecer una propuesta de valor diferenciada son los factores que hoy marcan la diferencia entre publicar un libro más o construir un negocio rentable dentro de la plataforma.

“Bestseller” has become one of the easiest words to fake in publishing, and it's costing authors money and readers' trust. I sit down with publishing expert Michele DeFilippo, who brings decades of real-world experience helping authors produce high-quality books without giving away control, rights, or royalties.We talk about why self-publishing no longer carries the old vanity-press stigma, and why the power has shifted now that Amazon and print-on-demand make global book distribution accessible. Michelle breaks down the difference between needing a publisher and needing professional publishing services, plus the red flags of hybrid publishing companies that charge authors upfront and still take a cut of sales. We also get practical about what “professional” actually looks like: editing, cover design, book typesetting, ebook formatting, and the kind of investment it can take to make your book compete with traditional releases.We also dug into author scams, including how “bestseller” schemes game Amazon's algorithm, what a real bestseller metric looks like, and why distribution tools like Amazon KDP and IngramSpark still don't do your marketing for you.If you're planning to self-publish, want to avoid costly traps, or simply want your book to look unmistakably legit, hit play, subscribe, share with a writer friend, and leave a review so more authors can find the show.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

In tonight's live masterclass, host Antoinette “Tawnie” Wolf breaks down why relying solely on standard social media leaves business owners vulnerable, sharing a raw look at corporate cyberbullying and why leaders over 55 must reclaim the airwaves—treating modern podcasting like the independent CB and amateur radios of the past.Tawnie dives deep into the collapse of foreign-funded media markets, how self-publishing tools like Amazon KDP give you total control of your written message, and a breakdown of campaign finance data showing how AI tools can completely revolutionize political campaigns, saving taxpayers millions of dollars by eliminating bloated agency overhead.Missed a session or want to look at the visual guides?

"If you can raise your hand and say, I need a little help here — guess what? That expedites the process of getting better so much more." — Ralph Brewer --- ABOUT THIS EPISODE Ralph Brewer is the founder of Help for Men, creator of Dad Starting Over, and author of five books including The Dead Bedroom Fix — a top-rated Amazon guide for men facing sexless marriages and disconnection. His latest, Rebuild: The Complete Guide to Starting Over as a Man, distills a decade-plus of member meetings, live chats, and thousands of conversations into a blueprint for men navigating divorce, job loss, infidelity, or any identity-shaking moment. Ralph's story starts at rock bottom: discovering his ex-wife's affair, a divorce sixty days later, and suddenly learning how to be a single parent, manage finances, run a home, and date again — all at once. A suggestion from one reader led him to write his first book, and a $25 Facebook ad that sold $700 worth of PDFs overnight proved the demand was real. Mike and Ralph talk about why long-term monogamy works against sexiness, the anxious-avoidant trap most couples fall into, why the "nice guy" who avoids conflict at all costs ends up in the most trouble, and how a rock-bottom moment can actually be the gift of starting over. --- KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rock bottom became a launchpad. Ralph's writing career started when his marriage collapsed. With three kids to raise solo, he returned to a childhood love — creative writing — and started blogging about relationships. The topic of sex and marriage was the only one that consistently drew readers. 2. One suggestion sparked a career. A single reader told Ralph he should write a book. That was enough. He taught himself Amazon KDP, learned Scrivener, and spent a year organizing The Dead Bedroom Fix. Three editions and a few hundred thousand copies later, it remains his top seller. 3. Long-term monogamy works against desire. Ralph frames it as a timeline: the honeymoon stage is hypersexual and hyper-connected, then biology shifts focus — women toward children, men toward novelty. Outside influences (porn, cultural messaging that husbands are disposable) compound the drift. 4. Insecurity is the real bedroom killer. The book could have been titled How to Be a More Secure Man. Most of Ralph's audience are anxiously attached men paired with avoidant partners. The standard advice — "communicate more, be vulnerable" — backfires for a man who's already suffocatingly needy. 5. The "nice guy" trap. Codependency disguised as kindness — "yes, dear, whatever you say, dear, as long as you don't leave me" — erodes attraction. Ralph recommends Dr. Robert Glover's No More Mr. Nice Guy as the definitive guide to breaking that pattern. 6. Low anxiety beats smooth lines. The "jerk at the bar" who gets attention isn't winning because he's rude — he's winning because he's low in social anxiety and neuroticism. He gets rejected 27 times and doesn't care. That resilience is what's actually attractive. 7. Self-improvement can trigger your partner's insecurity. When one partner gets in shape or finds new purpose, the other often sabotages — baking forbidden desserts, starting drama. The answer isn't to shrink back; it's to keep going and invite your partner along. 8. Rebuild is for the "who am I now?" moment. Whether it's divorce, job loss, or the death of a loved one, men often define themselves entirely by a role — husband, VP of engineering — and have no identity without it. Rebuild addresses that void with a step-by-step framework drawn from patterns Ralph observed across thousands of men. 9. You're not a lone wolf — you need a network. The "alpha male lone wolf" who thinks YouTube and supplements are enough gets stuck. Raising your hand and saying "I need help" exponentially speeds recovery. Community isn't weakness; it's infrastructure. 10. Every great man has a rock-bottom story. Ralph's observation from a decade of coaching: every man he admires went through something catastrophic and chose to pivot rather than stay down. It's never a gradual incline — it's always a rebuild. --- GET THE BOOKS Rebuild: The Complete Guide to Starting Over as a Man by Ralph Brewer Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Rebuild+Ralph+Brewer&tag=rettocasgra-20 The Dead Bedroom Fix (3rd Edition) by Ralph Brewer Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=The+Dead+Bedroom+Fix+Ralph+Brewer&tag=rettocasgra-20 --- CONNECT WITH RALPH Website: https://helpformen.com The Brotherhood (private men's community): https://helpformen.com/join Facebook: Dad Starting Over — https://www.facebook.com/dadstartingover YouTube: Dad Starting Over — https://www.youtube.com/@dadstartingover Instagram: @dadstartingover — https://www.instagram.com/dadstartingover TikTok: @dadstartingover — https://www.tiktok.com/@dadstartingover Twitter/X: @dadstartingover — https://twitter.com/dadstartingover --- ALSO MENTIONED No More Mr. Nice Guy by Dr. Robert Glover John Bowlby's attachment theory (anxious vs. avoidant attachment styles) --- CONNECT WITH YOUR HOST Mike Carlon | Uncorking a Story Website: https://uncorkingastory.com YouTube: @uncorkingastory — https://www.youtube.com/@uncorkingastory Instagram: @uncorkingastory — https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ Facebook: Uncorking a Story — https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory TikTok: @uncorkingastory — https://www.tiktok.com/@uncorkingastory Twitter/X: @uncorkingastory — https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: Uncorking a Story — https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ SUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A REVIEW — It helps more readers and writers find the show!

today we outline the transformative role and ethical boundaries of generative AI across journalism, academic publishing, and digital media. In newsrooms, AI is framed as an efficiency tool for data-to-text generation and verification rather than a replacement for human editorial judgment. Academic and legal perspectives emphasize that while AI can assist in manuscript preparation and research, it cannot be credited as an author due to a lack of legal accountability. Guidelines from major publishers like Elsevier and Amazon KDP mandate strict transparency and disclosure requirements for AI-generated text and imagery to maintain public trust. Furthermore, the texts explore economic shifts, such as data licensing and the legal tensions surrounding copyright infringement in AI training. Ultimately, the consensus across these industries is that human oversight remains essential to safeguard accuracy, originality, and professional ethics.

Eine Entscheidungshilfe für Selfpublishing-Autoren und Selfpublisherinnen – PoD oder doch eine Auflage drucken? In dieser Episode des Mission Bestseller Podcasts widme ich mich einer der zentralen Fragen für Selfpublisher:innen: Solltest du dein Buch im Print-on-Demand-Verfahren veröffentlichen oder doch auf klassischen Auflagendruck setzen? Mit meiner langjähriger Erfahrung im Selfpublishing teile meine Erkenntnisse, Vor- und Nachteile beider Methoden, berichte von aktuellen Marktentwicklungen und gebe dir wertvolle Entscheidungshilfen an die Hand. Egal, ob du dein erstes Buch veröffentlichst oder eine etablierte Backlist hast – diese Folge hilft dir dabei, den für dich passenden Weg zu finden, damit dein gedrucktes Buch 2026 die besten Chancen am Markt hat. Hier die wichtigsten Aspekte, die ich in dieser Folge anspreche: Die 10 wichtigsten Themen in dieser Folge Einführung in Print on Demand (PoD) und Auflagendruck Warum war PoD lange Zeit der bevorzugte Weg im Selfpublishing? Welcher Druckweg eignet sich 2026 besser für Selfpublisher:innen? Vorteile von Print on Demand Es werden die wichtigsten Vorteile hervorgehoben: keine finanzielle Vorleistung, einfache Aktualisierungsmöglichkeiten, keine Lagerhaltung und zufriedenstellende Gewinnspanne bei geringen Stückzahlen. Auflagendruck als interessante Alternative Autor:innen haben auch mit Auflagendruck Erfolg. Serviceanbieter, die Selfpublisher:inne beim Vertrieb unterstützen (z.B. NovaMD, Autaria) werden kurz vorgestellt. Entwicklung und Bedeutung von Dienstleistern Die Rolle von Dienstleistern wie Books on Demand, NovaMD und Autaria im Wandel und ihre Bedeutung für Verlage und Selfpublisher werden beleuchtet. Die Spiegel-Bestsellerliste als Ziel und die Rolle des Auflagendrucks Warum der Auflagendruck für Selfpublisher:innen, die auf die Spiegel-Bestsellerliste wollen, oft der notwendige Weg ist. Nachteile von Print on Demand Typische Schwächen wie Qualitätsmängel bei einzelnen Exemplaren, potenzielle Rückläufer, und eingeschränkte Marge bei wenigen Verkäufen werden thematisiert. Kostenmodell beim Auflagendruck Es wird erläutert, ab welchen verkauften Stückzahlen (ab ca. 500 Exemplaren) der Auflagendruck finanziell attraktiver wird und welche logistischen Lösungen es gibt. Tipps für Crowdfunding-Projekte und besondere Genres Die besonderen Anforderungen an Druck und Versand, gerade bei Crowdfunding-Aktionen, werden ebenso angesprochen wie spezifische Herausforderungen bei hochwertigen Büchern (z. B. Koch- oder Bildbände). Die richtige Entscheidung treffen: Verkaufsprognosen und Analyse Die Notwendigkeit einer realistischen Verkaufseinschätzung und einer ehrlichen Analyse der eigenen Reichweite und Ziele wird betont. Kombination verschiedener Publikationswege und Plattformen Wie du flexibel mehrere Wege nutzen kannst: eBook über einen Kanal, Taschenbuch via PoD, Hardcover im Auflagendruck – je nach Zielgruppe und Strategie. # Print on Demand oder Auflagendruck? – Entscheidungshilfe für Selfpublisher:innen Egal, ob du gerade mit deinem ersten Manuskript jonglierst oder schon mehrere Werke veröffentlicht hast – irgendwann steht jede:r Autor:in vor der Frage: Wie bringe ich mein gedrucktes Buch am besten unter die Leute? Setze ich auf Print on Demand oder investiere ich in einen Auflagendruck? In dieser Episode der Mission Bestseller spreche ich ausführlich darüber gesprochen, welche Vor- und Nachteile beide Wege für Selfpublisher:innen heute bieten. ## Was ist Print on Demand und warum ist es so beliebt? Kurz gesagt: Beim Print on Demand (PoD) wird dein Buch erst dann gedruckt, wenn es tatsächlich bestellt wird. Das klingt erstmal unglaublich praktisch – und das ist es in vielerlei Hinsicht auch. Du musst „nicht in die finanzielle Vorleistung gehen" und dich weder um Lagerung noch um Versand kümmern. Auch kleine Anpassungen am Buch – ein übersehener Tippfehler, kleine Ergänzungen – sind schnell und unkompliziert möglich. Ein paar Klicks an den Daten, und das nächste bestellte Exemplar enthält schon die verbesserte Version. Die Geschäftsmodelle der größten PoD-Anbieter wie Books on Demand (BOD), epubli, oder tredition verleihen dir eine erstaunliche Flexibilität. Mit einer vergleichsweise geringen Einstiegssumme (oft im zweistelligen Eurobereich) bist du dabei. Die Marge ist für viele auch attraktiv, besonders, wenn du über Amazon KDP veröffentlichst ## Warum solltest du trotzdem über Auflagendruck nachdenken? Beim Auflagendruck werden – wie der Name sagt – mehrere Exemplare deines Buches in einem Rutsch gedruckt, meist gleich hunderte oder tausende. Oft übernimmt ein Dienstleister wie NovaMD oder Autaria die Lagerung und den Versand für dich. Diese Option lohnt sich vor allem, wenn du viele Bücher verkaufst, 500 oder mehr. Warum? Weil dann die Stückkosten deutlich sinken und du insgesamt einen besseren Gewinn pro Buch erzielen kannst. Ein weiterer spannender Aspekt: Wer auf die renommierte Spiegel-Bestsellerliste schielt, kommt mit Auflagendruck oft eher ans Ziel. Dort schafft man es in der Regel nur, wenn eine gewisse Mindestzahl an gedruckten Büchern in einer relativ kurzen Zeitspanne in den Handel kommt – und Print on Demand reicht dafür meist nicht aus. ## Die größten Pluspunkte und Fallstricke beider Varianten ### Print on Demand: Viel Flexibilität, wenig Risiko - Keine hohen Startkosten: Du investierst nur minimal, daher ist PoD perfekt für erste Gehversuche. - Einfache Anpassungen: Fehler kannst du schnell korrigieren, neue Inhalte hinzufügen. - Kein Stress mit Lager und Versand: Alles übernimmt der Dienstleister, entspannt statt aufwendig. - Ideal bei unsicheren Verkaufszahlen: Wenn du nicht genau weißt, wie viele Bücher du realistisch absetzen wirst, bist du mit PoD auf der sicheren Seite. Dennoch gibt's auch Nachteile. Jedes Buch wird einzeln gedruckt, und da können bei jedem Druckvorgang kleine Fehler passieren – etwa beim Cover oder bei Farben. Das kann zu unzufriedenen Kund:innen führen und deinem Ruf schaden. Die Tantiemen sind bei kleinen Verkaufszahlen okay, aber wenn du über Buchhandlungen kommen willst, wird es finanziell schnell eng, weil Buchhandlungen hohe Rabatte verlangen. ### Auflagendruck: Mehr Risiko, mehr Möglichkeiten - Günstigere Stückkosten: Je mehr du drucken lässt, desto billiger wird's pro Buch. - Höhere Qualität: Du hast meist mehr Einfluss aufs Papier, auf die Ausstattung, Farbtreue bei Fotos und Co. – das ist z. B. bei Kochbüchern oder Bildbänden ein klarer Pluspunkt. - Besserer Zugang zum Buchhandel: Mit professionellem Vertrieb erreichst du leichter stationäre Buchläden. - Crowdfunding-Kompatibilität: Wenn du im Voraus durch Vorbestellungen schon Einnahmen hast, kannst du konkret kalkulieren und zielgerichtet drucken. Allerdings birgt Auflagendruck finanzielle Risiken. Wenn du 500 Bücher produzierst, aber nur 100 verkaufst, bleiben dir 400 Bücher im Lager oder landen sogar bei dir zu Hause. Die logistische Abwicklung über Dienstleister wie NovaMD oder Autaria kostet auch extra, und unverkaufte Bücher können weitere Kosten verursachen, wenn sie zurückgeschickt werden. ## Was ist nun „besser" für dich als Autor:in? Es gibt nicht den einen goldenen Weg – sondern du musst ehrlich in den Spiegel blicken. Frag dich: - Wie viele Bücher werde ich realistisch verkaufen? - Wie wichtig ist mir der stationäre Buchhandel? - Welche Zielgruppe habe ich – und wo kauft sie am liebsten? - Wie stehe ich selbst zum Thema Vorfinanzierung und Risiko? Gerade Anfänger:innen sind oft mit Print on Demand am besten beraten. Du kannst risikofrei starten, erste Erfahrungen sammeln, Feedback einholen und dich langsam rantasten. Hast du aber schon eine große Reichweite, eine erfolgreiche Serie oder viel Erfahrung im Buchmarkt, lohnt es sich, den Schritt zum Auflagendruck ernsthaft zu überlegen. Und – weshalb nicht kombinieren? Vielleicht veröffentlichst du dein eBook über einen Kanal, das Taschenbuch als Print on Demand und spendierst deinem Werk ein besonders hochwertiges Hardcover im Auflagendruck für Buchhandlungen oder für besondere Fans. ## Deine Entscheidung zählt! Selfpublishing ist wunderbar vielfältig – inzwischen gibt es zahlreiche Anbieter und Optionen. Mach dir klar, wo du stehst, was du erreichen willst und wer deine Leser:innen sind. Flexibilität, Kosten, Qualität, Sichtbarkeit im Handel – das alles sind legitime Kriterien, und es gibt nicht die eine Lösung für alle. Es ist vielmehr eine Frage deiner eigenen Ziele und Möglichkeiten. Wenn du auf Nummer sicher gehen willst: Taste dich langsam heran, frage Kolleg:innen nach ihren Erfahrungen oder probiere mehrere Vertriebswege aus. Denn am Ende zählt nur eins: dass dein Buch die Menschen erreicht, für die du es geschrieben hast! Welcher Erfahrungen hast du mit Print on Demand und/oder Auflagendruck gemacht? Teile sie gerne in den Kommentaren!

Cada año pasa lo mismo. Se abre la convocatoria del Premio Kindle Storyteller, miles de autores se lanzan a presentar sus libros con toda la ilusión del mundo y un buen número de ellos se queda fuera por errores que se podrían haber evitado fácilmente. ​Este año no va a ser tu caso. ​La convocatoria del Premio Literario Amazon KDP 2026 ya está abierta y en este artículo te cuento por qué merece la pena que le prestes atención, aunque todavía no tengas muy claro si tu libro está listo.  Un premio que no es como los demás ​En España hay muchos premios literarios. Pero si rascas un poco la superficie, la mayoría tienen algo en común: una editorial detrás, unos intereses detrás y un resultado que no siempre responde solo a la calidad del libro. ​El Kindle Storyteller funciona de otra manera. El jurado es independiente, los criterios son literarios y los ganadores de ediciones anteriores tienen algo en común: escriben libros que enganchan, que se leen de un tirón, que dejan huella. ​No es un premio simbólico. Es el certamen de referencia para autores que autopublican en español y cada año crece. En 2025 se presentaron cerca de 7.000 obras. Eso da una idea de lo que está en juego.  Lo que gana el autor que sube al escenario ​Esto es lo que se lleva el ganador o ganadora de esta edición: 10.000 € en metálico Un acuerdo con Amazon Audible para publicar en formato audiolibro Campañas de marketing en las tiendas de Amazon Y los finalistas, aunque no se lleven el primer premio, hablan de un antes y un después en sus ventas. Esa visibilidad no se consigue fácilmente de otra manera.  Los errores que dejan fuera a buenos autores cada año ​Aquí está la parte que más me interesa contarte. ​Amazon es muy estricto con las bases del concurso. Hay requisitos concretos: fechas de publicación, formatos obligatorios, una palabra clave específica que tienes que incluir en los metadatos y condiciones de exclusividad que muchos autores no conocen o no aplican correctamente. ​El resultado es que cada año quedan descalificados autores con libros estupendos por detalles técnicos que se podían haber evitado con la información correcta. ​Por eso he grabado un vídeo en el que te explico, paso a paso y sin rodeos, todo lo que necesitas saber para presentarte correctamente y no cometer esos errores. ​ Ver el vídeo: Cómo presentarte al Premio Amazon KDP 2026 sin quedarte fuera Una novedad que este año lo cambia todo ​Y hay algo más que quiero contarte porque me hace especial ilusión. ​Este año la ceremonia oficial de entrega del Premio Kindle Storyteller 2026 se celebrará en nuestro evento. Amazon ha vuelto a elegir el Evento Triunfa con tu libro para hacer la entrega del galardón. ​El 6 de noviembre en Madrid reuniremos a autores, escritores y profesionales del mundo editorial en un evento presencial con ponencias, la ceremonia oficial del premio y un cóctel de networking. ​El ganador o ganadora subirá al escenario. Delante de toda la comunidad. ​Si quieres estar en la sala cuando eso ocurra, o si quieres ser tú quien suba, las inscripciones ya están abiertas con un precio especial de preventa disponible solo hasta el 1 de julio de 2026. ​ Reservar mi plaza en el Evento Triunfa con tu libro 2026

He started writing at 16 during lockdown, finishing a massive first draft he'll never publish, but instead of stopping there, he kept going. That persistence turned into real momentum for Harrison Stockland, a rising crime-thriller author known for his “twisted originality” and willingness to embrace the gritty choices that traditional gatekeepers often want softened. His debut novel, Watch It Burn, sets the tone for the kind of dark, character-driven stories he's building his career on. In this episode, we talk candidly about protecting your voice as you grow as a writer—and why “the deal has to be right” if you ever sign with a publishing house. We also get practical about self-publishing and Amazon KDP: querying agents, turning down an offer, hiring an editor and cover designer, and even learning to format a book in Microsoft Word. Harrison shares how he approaches Amazon ads, explaining why his goal is often reach and breaking even rather than immediate profit, and how a short course plus consistent experimentation can outperform expensive monthly retainers with ad agencies.Marketing isn't just a buzzword here. We dig into what actually moved the needle: building genuine relationships, hosting local bookstore events and signings, growing an email list, and using an author website with email automations to nudge readers toward preorders and reviews.We also talk craft and research, how nonfiction like Mindhunter and conversations with detectives and legal professionals can elevate crime fiction, making it feel authentic without copying real cases.If you care about writing discipline, creative control, and modern publishing strategy, this episode is packed with insights.Subscribe to Read and Write with Natasha, share this with a writer friend, and don't forget to leave a review—it helps more book lovers discover the show.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Wie gehe ich als Autor oder Autorin, der/die seine/ihre Bücher über Amazon veröffentlicht mit der Rolle um, die Amazon in unserer Gesellschaft spielt? Dieses Thema lässt mir derzeit wenig Ruhe, daher werfe ich erneut ein paar Scheinwerferblitze darauf. Hier die wichtigsten Aspekte, die ich in dieser Folge anspreche: 1. Amazon und Selfpublishing-Abhängigkeit  2. Ethik und politische Verantwortung der Plattformen  3. Umgang mit moralischen Widersprüchen  4. Alternative Vertriebswege für Autor:innen  5. Kritische Reflexion über Big Tech Konzerne  6. Mut zur offenen Meinungsäußerung  7. Diversifizierung und Selbstbestimmung im Buchmarkt   Amazon und die Politik – Ein Dilemma für Selfpublisher:innen Zwischen Erfolg, Abhängigkeit und ethischen Widersprüchen Selfpublishing hat sich in den letzten zehn Jahren rasant entwickelt und vielen Autorinnen und Autoren die Möglichkeit eröffnet, eigenständig, unabhängig und erfolgreich zu veröffentlichen. Eine zentrale Rolle dabei spielt Amazon – doch diese Erfolgsgeschichte hat auch eine dunkle Seite, die zunehmend schwerer zu ignorieren ist. In diesem Beitrag beleuchte ich die Gratwanderung zwischen wirtschaftlicher Notwendigkeit und politisch-moralischen Bedenken, mit denen viele von uns heute konfrontiert sind. Selfpublishing ohne Amazon? Undenkbar! Ohne Amazon KDP wäre die Entwicklung des Selfpublishing, wie wir sie kennen, kaum vorstellbar. Der Markteintritt von Amazon KDP in Deutschland um 2010/2011 war ein Gamechanger, der das bestehende Buchsystem durchbrach und unabhängigen Autor:innen nicht nur Sichtbarkeit, sondern auch echtes unternehmerisches Potenzial verschaffte. Im Zuge dessen entstanden zahlreiche Geschäftsmodelle rund ums Selfpublishing, darunter auch Anbieter wie BOD, epubli oder Tolino. Dennoch bleibt Amazon bis heute der Platzhirsch – vor allem, weil sie im internationalen Vergleich die besten Konditionen für Selfpublisher:innen bieten: einfache Bedienbarkeit, schnelle Änderungen am Buch, gute Tantiemen und eine faire Platzierung in den Rankings. Wirtschaftliche Abhängigkeit und das Streben nach Alternativen Ein Blick auf das eigene Konto macht vielen Autor:innen klar, wie groß die Abhängigkeit von Amazon inzwischen geworden ist. Bei den meisten unabhängigen Autor:innen kommen 70 bis 95 Prozent der Buch-Umsätze über diese Plattform herein. Das bedeutet einerseits Planungssicherheit, andererseits kann es auch beängstigend wirken: Ein einziger Entscheid von Amazon kann ausreichen, ganze Existenzen in Gefahr zu bringen. Alternativen gibt es – beispielsweise Tolino im deutschsprachigen Raum oder der Direktverkauf über eigene Webseiten mit Zahlungsdienstleistern wie Digistore24. Hier können E-Mail-Adressen der Käufer:innen direkt gesammelt und Margen erheblich gesteigert werden. Dennoch: Für die meisten bleibt Amazon trotz Kritik aus ökonomischen Gründen ein "Muss". Die politischen und ethischen Widersprüche Im Verlauf der letzten Jahre haben sich die globalen politischen Verhältnisse verschärft. Es wird deutlich, dass Unternehmen wie Amazon, Meta oder Google immer stärker mit politischen Strömungen und Regierungen verknüpft sind, die nicht demokratischen Prinzipien entsprechen. Amazon hat sich zuletzt beispielsweise nicht von rechtspopulistischen Bewegungen und Personen distanziert, im Gegenteil: Sie haben ihnen durch Finanzierungen und Medienpräsenz sogar Rückenwind gegeben. Wer als Autor:in weiterhin Amazon nutzt, ist daher auch Teil dieses Systems – willentlich oder nicht. Den Kopf in den Sand stecken, alles ignorieren oder gar schweigen? Für viele ist das keine Option mehr. Es braucht Bewusstsein, Mut und die Bereitschaft, die eigenen Widersprüche auszuhalten und sie offen zu thematisieren. Denn: Die Welt ist widersprüchlich und es wird nicht von heute auf morgen möglich sein, sich ganz von problematischen Strukturen zu lösen. Der kreative Umgang mit Widersprüchen Die Tatsache, dass das Selfpublishing-Ökosystem auf Plattformen angewiesen ist, die in politische Skandale und Machtspiele verwickelt sind, stellt Autor:innen vor Herausforderungen – aber auch Chancen. Einerseits können und sollten wir die Vorteile für den eigenen unternehmerischen Erfolg nutzen. Andererseits ist es wichtig, die eigene Sichtweise offen auszusprechen und nicht schon der inneren Zensur zu erliegen.   Der Umgang mit Widersprüchen könnte beispielsweise auch darin bestehen, Amazon gezielt strategisch zu nutzen, um progressive Inhalte in die Welt zu tragen und zur Debatte zu stellen, oder die Kritik an den Plattformen selbst auf diesen zu veröffentlichen. Es geht darum, nicht schwarz-weiß zu denken, sondern konstruktiv und dialektisch mit Spannungen umzugehen. Meine Zusammenfassungt: Haltung zeigen und neue Wege prüfen Selfpublishing und Amazon – das ist für die meisten von uns noch alternativlos. Doch es bleibt unsere Verantwortung, nicht alles kritiklos hinzunehmen, sondern uns immer wieder zu fragen: Was kann ich tun, um sowohl unternehmerisch erfolgreich als auch ethisch integer zu handeln?   Gerade indem wir offen das Gespräch suchen, alternative Wege prüfen, Projekte wie Direktvertrieb oder Crowdfunding ausprobieren und uns stets bewusst machen, dass wir Teil eines größeren Ganzen sind, können wir zu einer Veränderung beitragen – auch wenn diese langsam kommt. Widersprüche werden bleiben. Sie sind ein integraler Bestandteil der Welt und Motor jeder Entwicklung. Wichtig ist, sich ihnen zu stellen und sie nicht zu verschweigen. Gerade in Zeiten des gesellschaftlichen Umbruchs braucht es Menschen, die über den Tellerrand hinausdenken und bereit sind, Farbe zu bekennen.

Send us Fan MailA dusty closet under a ballpark sounds harmless until it becomes a doorway to the past. We talk with author and genealogist Timothy Bernard Carr about Timing Is Everything, a fast-moving historical fiction time travel novel that starts in Detroit with the 2003 Tigers and then dares to rewrite the moments that still sting. If you love Detroit sports, baseball history, or Irish American storytelling, this one lands right in that sweet spot where research meets imagination.https://timothybernardcarrauthor.com/We dig into how genealogy shaped Carr's voice, why Rocky Road to America began as “just family research,” and how real events became the backbone for a bigger story. His main character, Mark Killeran, carries the weight of Vietnam and a lifetime of regret, then finds himself face-to-face with American legends and American mistakes. Jim Thorpe's 1912 medal scandal, Frank Navin's Tigers, a Babe Ruth curveball, and Ty Cobb's complicated reputation all become turning points in an alternate history that asks what “redemption” would actually cost.Then the ripples get bigger: breaking the color barrier earlier, pushing integration beyond baseball, and imagining a very different path through JFK-era politics and the Vietnam War. We also get practical about modern self-publishing through Amazon KDP, where to find the book, and why authors have to think about piracy in the digital age. Subscribe, share this with a baseball fan or history buff, and leave a review with the one moment you'd change if you had Killeran's chance.https://yourrootz.com/https://linktr.ee/DetroitCityofChampionswww.DJJamieDetroit.comwww.WearingFunny.com

In Part 5, we get into the real reason cards hit so hard for so many of us. Not just value, not just the chase, but the actual emotional and even physical reaction collectors can have to certain cards. We talk about what creates that feeling, what separates cards from other collectibles, and how the hobby's structure, history, and shared “language” shape the way we collect. The chat brings strong perspectives on nostalgia, enjoyment, and what keeps the collecting flame going over decades. We also touch briefly on a current topic that popped up on social media, then close with updates on POPs & COMPs, the Hobby Spectrum survey improvements, and what's coming next. If you're watching this episode in parts, this is the one that gets surprisingly personal about why we collect at all. POPs & COMPs update: The book has been uploaded to Amazon KDP and is currently in the review queue (up to 72 hours). Once it clears, we'll be ordering a proof copy to verify everything before it goes live. The Hobby Spectrum: If you haven't joined yet, get on the waitlist for an early access code. We're temporarily holding new codes while a handful of survey question revisions are being deployed, including a couple with more sophisticated logic. If you've already taken the assessment, you can retake it every 30 days. If you feel like your approach is evolving or you want a cleaner result after the updates, take it again when you're eligible. What's coming next: More functionality is on the way, including improved search and filtering and the ability to add who you collect so others can find you and connect on the platform of your choice. Podcast listeners: Even when there's no live show, episodes will continue to hit Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere you listen. Thanks for watching and for bringing the chat energy every week.
