Here’s a question no self-publisher wants to think about: what happens to your KDP royalties after death—and to your Amazon KDP account itself?
This question had never been a thought bubble popping out from my noggin until a student brought it up in one of our Q&A calls (shoutout to Pam!). But the reality is that, if you don’t have a plan in place, your loved ones might never see a penny from the books you worked so hard to create.
In my latest video, I break down:
- Exactly what happens to your KDP royalties after death and how Amazon handles accounts once an author passes away
- The specific steps you should take RIGHT NOW to protect your books and make sure future royalties reach your family
- What happens if your account is under an LLC or corporation instead of your personal name (this is a VERY different thing)
It’s not the most glamorous part of self-publishing, but it’s knowledge every self-publisher using KDP should know.
