Why we exist

Publishing on Amazon KDP is free. Publishing well on Amazon KDP is work: editing passes, cover files in two different color spaces, interior formatting that survives Amazon's previewer, metadata rules that ban entire categories of words, and royalty math with real trade-offs. Our mission is to give independent authors that production quality — editing, design, formatting, and launch support — at prices published up front, without taking any rights, any royalties, or any control of the author's own KDP account. We help authors worldwide get from finished manuscript to a book they're proud to see on Amazon — and everything we produce is handed to you, to keep.

Who we help

First-time authors with a finished (or nearly finished) manuscript

You've done the hard part. We handle the specs — trim sizes, bleed, EPUB conversion, keywords, categories — and explain every decision in plain language, on a working author's budget.

Published indie authors upgrading an existing book

A cover that finally fits the genre, a re-formatted interior, an A+ Content section, a listing set up properly.

Nonfiction professionals who want a credible book as a business asset

Without the price tag of a done-for-you publishing house.

Authors expanding formats

An audiobook edition (with honest answers about where AI narration is and isn't accepted), an author website, or a book trailer.

If that's you, you don't need to know anything about KDP's rules yet. That's the point of us.

Who we're not for

We'd rather lose a sale than start a project on a false promise. We're the wrong choice if:

You want a promised bestseller.

Nobody can honestly sell you sales, rankings, or review counts — and Amazon bans sales-rank language like "bestselling" in book metadata anyway. We commit to production quality and a compliant setup. What happens after launch depends on the book and the market, and we won't pretend otherwise.

You're looking for a publisher or literary agent.

We don't acquire rights, pay advances, or publish under our own imprint. Your book is published by you, under your own KDP account.

You want to hand your KDP account to someone else.

Amazon requires the account holder's own legal name, tax details, bank account, and identity verification — one account per publisher. We work with you inside your account; we never own or run it for you. Any company offering to "publish it for you" on their account is a risk Amazon explicitly warns about.

You want an AI-narrated audiobook on Audible.

Audible's ACX platform prohibits unauthorized text-to-speech and AI recordings, so no outside vendor — including us — can honestly sell you that. We'll tell you which stores do accept AI narration, and what your real Audible options are.

Your manuscript isn't written yet.

We edit and produce finished manuscripts; we don't ghostwrite.

Your budget is zero.

Amazon's free tools — Cover Creator, Word templates, Kindle Create — may genuinely be enough for a simple book. If they are, we'll say so on the call instead of selling you something you don't need.

How we think about publishing

Bounded promises, kept.

Defined deliverables, numbered revision rounds, day-count turnarounds, and a defined support window — published before you pay, honored after.

See the price before you talk to anyone.

Every service has a published rate and a live calculator. No email gate, no quote theater.

The platform's rules are the job.

Cover files, interiors, keywords, categories, A+ modules — all built to Amazon's current published specifications, with sources you can check.

Honest tools.

Where we use AI (audiobook narration), we say so, price it like it, and name exactly which stores accept it. Where Amazon's free tools already cover you, we say that too — and charge only for what they can't do.

You keep everything.

Your rights, your files, your account, your royalties. Our involvement ends when you say it ends, and nothing we did leaves with us.

How we work

Process

Step 1

Price it.Use the instant calculator on the services page to see a live estimate for exactly your word count and options. Final pricing may vary with project specifics — the estimate tells you the honest ballpark before we ever talk.

Step 2

Talk it through (if you want).A free 15-minute video call to scope the work, or just send an inquiry from the services page. No obligation either way.

Step 3

Production in defined steps.Each service runs on published deliverables and numbered revision rounds (listed on every service page), with your approval gating each stage. You always know what stage your book is in and what happens next.

Step 4

Delivery and support.You receive the final files listed for your service — and 30 days of post-publication support are included. If a file we produced is rejected by KDP's upload checks, we fix it. One honest caveat we don't control: after you upload, Amazon's own review can take up to 72 hours for eBooks and Amazon.com print listings. That clock is Amazon's, not ours, and we say so rather than promise "instant" publication.

Communication

One contact address, a working inquiry form, and a real calendar with live availability. You'll never be handed to a "success manager" who can't answer a production question.

Tools

Estimates come from the same pricing engine sitewide, so the number you see is the number we quote. Files are produced to Amazon's published specifications (see standards, below). Where any AI tool touches your project, the service page says so explicitly.

Our editorial and quality standards

Quality in KDP publishing is checkable, so we define it in the platform's own terms:

Covers

Delivered as two distinct artifacts, because Amazon requires two: an RGB eBook cover (JPEG/TIFF, built to Amazon's recommended 2560 × 1600 pixels) and, for print, a single press-ready CMYK PDF wrap at 300 DPI with bleed, built to KDP's published template for your trim and page count.

Interiors

Delivered as a press-ready print PDF with embedded fonts, and an EPUB for eBook editions.

Listings

Set up within Amazon's metadata rules: up to 7 keywords, 3 self-selected categories, and title/description language that avoids everything KDP prohibits (sales-rank words, promo terms, embedded testimonials or URLs) — so your listing doesn't trip a policy review.

A+ Content

Designed inside Amazon's published content guidelines, which ban hype claims and review quotes — a constraint we treat as a design brief, not an obstacle.

Revisions

Numbered and stage-gated, published per service — no vague "unlimited" promises that quietly stop being honored.

Being exactly right about the platform's rules is the standard we ask you to judge us by: every spec above is checkable against KDP's own help pages, and we link to them on the service pages.

You keep everything — our ownership and transparency principles

No share of your royalties, ever.

Our fee is a one-time service fee. We take no percentage of sales, no rights in your work, and no ongoing cut of anything. This isn't generosity — it's our policy, and Amazon's own KDP terms are the backdrop: the license authors grant KDP is nonexclusive, and authors retain all ownership rights in their work. Nothing in our process touches that.

Your own KDP account.

You publish from an account in your name that you own and control. We guide you through setup and work with you inside it — we never create, own, or operate it for you.

Your files, delivered.

Every deliverable listed for your service is handed to you on completion, and each service page states exactly which source files are included. You can take everything and leave at any time.

One price book.

Every number on this site — cards, calculator, service pages — is meant to come from a single canonical price list. If you ever spot two of our pages disagreeing on a price, tell us: we treat that as a bug, not a negotiation.

Money talk uses Amazon's numbers, dated.

When royalties come up, we walk you through Amazon's own published rates for your book's price and format rather than quoting a convenient summary — the platform's split is Amazon's, and it changes; our job is to show you the current official math.

The company behind the work

This section is short on purpose: we publish only what we can document, and we'd rather show you a blank than an invention.
