If you enroll your eBook in KDP Select, you're eligible for the KDP Select All-Star Bonus. In addition to paying royalties from the KDP Select Global Fund, each month we award All-Star bonuses to books and authors that are read the most in Kindle Unlimited (KU). All-Star recipients are also eligible for All-Star badges on their book detail pages. Anyone with titles in KDP Select—even a brand-new author—is eligible.

We award All-Star bonuses to authors and titles that provide our customers the best reading experience based on how much they're read in KU. Authors who publish books together are considered a single "author" for the purposes of KDP All-Star bonuses. We email the award winners.

To be eligible for All-Star bonuses, you must claim your title on your Author Central Page and you must be in compliance with our Content Guidelines. Violations of our policies or guidelines may result in loss of eligibility for programs such as KDP Select All-Stars.

To participate, illustrated kids' books must be classified as "Children's Books" in the Kindle Store, be intended for young children learning to read, and have illustrations integral to the book's storyline.
