You hover over the publish button and feel it: that small, sharp question behind the excitement. Do you check the box for KDP Select, lock your ebook into Amazon’s world, and reach Kindle Unlimited readers—or do you take your book wide and plant flags at every major retailer? You can’t do both at once for the same ebook, and whichever path you choose will shape your launch, your cash flow, and your audience.

The good news: this choice isn’t permanent if you treat it like a plan, not a pledge.

You wrote a novel. It lives in readers’ heads, the way it was meant to. Now people ask the question you’ve quietly asked yourself: could this become a film or series?

You can convert your story into a script that travels farther, earns differently, and puts your work in front of new audiences. The process is less mystical once you adopt the lens of a filmmaker.

You open your dashboard and see the same two numbers you always see: units and dollars. One went up this week, the other didn’t. You nudged your ebook from $3.99 to $4.99 and your conversion dipped, but your revenue per buyer climbed. That feeling? That’s price doing exactly what price does—filtering who buys, how fast, and how much you earn.

The email arrived while the kettle clicked off and the kitchen window fogged with steam. A reader in São Paulo wrote in Portuguese, and even through the translation app you could feel the warmth: your story had kept her up past midnight. You stood barefoot on cool tile, mug in hand, and realized your book had crossed an ocean without you.
