What it is
What Amazon KDP Publishing solves
Who it is for
Authors and organisations publishing books on Amazon who want files and listings prepared correctly.
KDP rejects files for margin, bleed, font and cover-size errors, and weak metadata makes a good book hard to find.
How it works
How I deliver Amazon KDP Publishing
I format the interior to KDP specifications for each trim size, prepare a cover file sized to the page count, and check previews before submission.
Title, description, keywords, categories and pricing are prepared, and the book is uploaded to the author’s own KDP account.
