I love these guides on Kindle Direct Publishing.
Is it possible to have person to person lessons or even more, constant guides on this platform?
I am so grateful for guidance from these guides.
I managed to publish my book.

Hi, I have created an account on Amazon and setting up for KDP. There is a two step verification process where an OTP is sent first to my email which I received and filled in and this was followed by an OTP being sent to my number. This is where I am stuck, the system says OTP sent but on my end I have not received anything. I have rechecked my Kenyan number to be correct, tried resending OTP but does not work. What shall I do?

Hi Avnita,
The OTP can take a while with the Kenyan number. It may show up an hour or two later. However, before that, if you have ever shopped with Amazon, not on KDP, but with amazon.com. They would have sent the OTP to the number you registered your amazon.com account to begin with. If not, then it is a delay, and the OTP message is only delayed. If it does not come at all, email them your issue.
