If you published books through Amazon KDP, I do want to inform you that you can now delete an unpublished book from your Bookshelf. This will help cleanup your bookshelf.

It is a new feature. To delete an unpunished book, click on the three dots to the right of the "Promote and Advertise" button to access the option list. From there, click on "delete".

If you don't want to publish your books exclusively on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, then you can use Draft2Digital to go wide with them to get them distributed to iBooks, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Scribd, etc.

Continue writing and publishing as many books as possible as that will ensure you get consistent sales since if one book doesn't sell, another will do.

Stop looking for publishing agents or publishers, and go independent through Amazon or Draft2Digital if you are targeting foreign audience and Nigeria's OkadaBooks if your are targeting local audience.
