due to cost and royalty changes I’m raising the…
Hey! Just a heads up, when I set the price for Harmony Nights I put the paperback at $4.99 to make it easily available for everyone, and it’s been fine for two months, but due to royalty rates and print costs changing on June 10th, I’m gonna have to sadly increase the price to better reflect the work I put into this. This isn’t immediate, I plan on changing the price this next weekend, so get it at a low price while you can! Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for the support!!

Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) has recently updated its royalty rates and printing costs affecting paperback books priced below certain list prices, such as those under $9.99. This change, effective June 10, 2025, has led many independent authors, including the creator of "Harmony Nights," to adjust their book prices to better reflect the production costs and royalties received. These updates aim to balance affordability for readers while ensuring fair compensation for authors. For buyers interested in paperback versions, it's beneficial to purchase before the upcoming price increases take effect, usually announced with notice a few days in advance. In addition, authors are often able to create multiple book formats, such as hardcover or eBook versions, which may have different pricing structures. These changes also highlight the evolving landscape of self-publishing and the value of supporting independent authors. Keeping abreast of pricing announcements on Amazon's KDP platform ensures readers can make timely purchases and support authors fairly.
