The My Shelf tab of the Dashboard is the place to upload, publish, and manage all your Digital Text Platform content.
Use My Shelf to upload items for publication and fill in the details that will help readers find your content, including author name, category, sales copy, and price. Once you’ve uploaded content, you’ll see it in your My Shelf content list.
Note: Keep an eye on the alert section above and to the right of your content list. It tells you if there's anything holding up publication.
The Content List
The content list displays all content you have uploaded and converted using Digital Text Platform. You can sort or filter the content list to see just what you need.
Status
The status column in the content list tells you where your uploaded content is in the publishing cycle:
Live
Content has been published and is available in the Kindle Store.
Ready
You have completed all the required steps but haven’t yet published this content. Click Publish to make this item live. If the status is hyperlinked, the item was previously published and has changed: click Publish to make the item "Live" again.
Draft
Content has been uploaded but still requires some attention from you before it will be "Ready." If the status is hyperlinked, the item was previously published and has been updated, but updates are not yet "Live" due to an incomplete step. Complete all steps, then click Publish to make the item "Live" again.
Note: When "Ready" or "Draft" are hyperlinked, the item has been updated but has not been republished. Click the Publish button to make the item "Live."
Click the plus [+] sign to open an item and add or change details.
Sort Content
Click the header bar above your content list to sort your content list by column:
Title
Sort alphabetically by title. (▲A-Z; ▼Z-A)
Author
Sort alphabetically by author’s last name. (▲A-Z; ▼Z-A)
Status
Sort by publication status. (▲Draft/Live/Ready; ▼Ready/Live/Draft)
Publication Date
Sort by date of publication. (▲Ascending; ▼Descending)
Filter Content
The filter option lets you display only content with a particular status. Use the drop-down menu to display only Live, Ready, or Draft content and filter out the rest.
Search Content
Search your content list by keyword; this feature searches the description, title and author name fields of the form.

If you’re ready to start uploading, check out the Publish your Content section for detailed instructions.
