How to publish fanfictions into a book on amazon?

Here lately I've been seeing a lot of fan fictions on amazon in book form. I was wondering how you would go about making them into books and what the sellers could possibly be using to do so?

    From what I know, Wattpad is the most popular website to 'publish' your story, which by the way is not necessarily a fan-fiction. If your story is any good and gets a certain amount of reads, and is popular in general it can get sent of to a publisher, who will then view it and tell you if they want it published, if they say yes then it gets turned into a book (after editing and finalizing of course) and sold like any other book (commonly the book might say' A wattpad fiction' etc etc at the bottom). An example of one of these books is 'After' (can't remember the author! Ana Todd? hmm) which was originally a One Direction fanfiction, which then got so popular it was published!

    (Also, when i say you can publish a book on Wattpad, it's not actually published published, it's just uploaded onto the website where anyone can read and vote for )

    I hope i answered your question :)

    (Anyone can make a wattpad account,it's completley free :) )

    Legally you cannot publish and sell fanfictions. You are asking to be sued by the publishers and the writers' lawyers by doing so.
