Smart Moves Authors Are Making After the KDP Royalty Change

June 23, 2025 By Rachel Harrison-Sund

You’ve heard it by now.

On June 10, Amazon slashed its royalties by 10%—but not for everyone and not for every book. 

So… are you one of the thousands of self-publishers affected by this KDP Royalty change?

And if so, what’s the smartest way to protect your earnings moving forward?

In today’s video I’ll break down:

  • Exactly what’s changing
  • Who it impacts most (certain niches will feel the squeeze more than others)
  • What steps you can take right now to stay profitable after this KDP Royalty Change. 

I’ll also share the #1 mistake many low-content publishers are making in response to the update—and how to avoid it.

Over the years, KDP has rolled out plenty of changes. And like clockwork, each one sends a wave of self-publishers running for the nearest shiny object.

But the truth is this…

Success in any business model comes down to how quickly you can adapt, pivot, and spot the opportunity hiding inside the challenge.

This is one of those moments.

Let’s turn it into a power move.
