GET PAID - For Caribbean & West Indian Authors Selling Through Amazon KDP And Other Direct Sales Platforms

Getting paid should not be the most difficult part of publishing a book. Yet for many Caribbean and West Indian authors, receiving royalties from overseas platforms can be confusing, costly, and unnecessarily complicated.

Banking services, payment options, and U.S. tax treatment vary from one country to another. A method that works for an author in one Caribbean nation may not be available—or may work differently—in another.

GET PAID brings the essential information together in one practical, easy-to-follow guide. It helps authors understand how cross-border royalty payments work, why U.S. tax withholding differs across the region, and what to consider when choosing a payment route.

The guide also looks beyond Amazon KDP, introducing additional ways to distribute books, sell directly to readers and earn more from local sales.

Written for authors throughout the Caribbean and West Indies, it includes clear explanations, regional comparisons, practical checklists, and links to official resources—so you can make informed decisions and build a payment strategy that works where you live.
