hello guys, I need your help, how can I publish my short stories in Amazon as a Nigerian writer, pls if you have published yours before or have knowledge about it. pls do put me through in the comment section. Thank You.

Putting you through won't be so easy as to writing everything out in the comment session. It takes a learning curve. You'd need to edit the book. Then, design a catchy cover. You'd need to also come up with a blurb. After that, there are keywords that should identify your short story. Also, what categories (three at least) can your story be classified under?
Then, there is the small matter of pricing (not forgetting deciding if you'd want Amazon to take 30% or 70% off the profit from the book). All of these are things you'd have to learn. I'd advise you watch YouTube videos on the subject. I bet before you watch ten, you might get the idea. And I hate to disappoint you. but unless you're doing this for passion rather than profit, writing one short story and publishing it might not move the needle much (heck, it might not move it at all). A lot goes into making a living from fiction (marketing, branding, et al). Still, I wish you well. May the odds be in your favour.
