You’ve got a story to tell, an idea to share, or maybe even a dream you’ve held onto for years: publishing your own book.
The good news? You no longer need a traditional publishing deal to make it happen. Today, self-publishing a book is easier, faster, and more empowering than ever, especially with tools like Amazon and the right support system behind you.
And when it comes to that support system, no one does it better than Estorytellers.
In this article, you’ll get answers for: How to self publish a book step-by-step even if you’re a total beginner, why platforms like Amazon make self-publishing so accessible and how Estorytellers helps you publish smarter, faster, and more successfully
Let’s start with what self-publishing really looks like in 2025.
What Does “Self Publishing a Book” Actually Mean?
Self-publishing means you take control of your own book, from the writing all the way to the selling. There’s no need for a literary agent, no pitching to publishers, and no waiting for someone else to say “yes.”
You become the publisher.
With self-publishing, you:
- Own 100% of your content and royalties
- Choose your title, design, and pricing
- Decide when, where, and how to launch
The most popular and effective platform for this is Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), where your book can go live globally in less than a week.
But while the tools are easy to access, the process still takes a lot of skill to do well. That’s why more first-time authors choose to partner with pros, like Estorytellers, who bring both creative insight and publishing expertise.

Why Self Publishing on Amazon Is the Best Choice for New Authors
You could print copies at a local press. You could list your book on a dozen small websites. But none of that compares to the power of Amazon.
Here’s why self publishing on Amazon (via KDP) is unbeatable:
- Global reach: Your book appears on Amazon stores in the US, UK, India, and beyond
- Print on demand: No need for inventory—books are printed only when sold
- Real royalties: You earn up to 70% on every sale
- Fast turnaround: Your book can be live in just 72 hours
Amazon KDP gives indie authors the same digital shelf space as the biggest names in publishing. But to truly stand out, you still need polish, strategy, and guidance—that’s where Estorytellers makes all the difference.
