I am seeking a skilled and experienced professional to assist with the final formatting and uploading of my 87-page book onto Amazon’s KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) platform. The book is already proofread, copyrighted, and designed in an 8.5 x 8.5 trim size paperback format. This is my first book, and I have recently created a KDP account.
I need your expertise to ensure the book meets KDP’s formatting requirements and is successfully uploaded, including:
Scope of Work:
Formatting:
Ensure the manuscript is formatted correctly for KDP’s paperback requirements, including proper margins, page size, fonts, and pagination.
Adjust any layout issues that may arise to ensure professional presentation.
Cover Art Upload:
Ensure the cover art meets KDP’s specifications (including proper dimensions, bleed, and file format).
Confirm the final cover art aligns with the 8.5 x 8.5 trim size and looks great on the platform.
Uploading Assistance:
Guide me through the process of uploading both the interior file and cover art to my KDP account or complete the upload on my behalf.
Troubleshoot any issues that might arise during the upload process.
Compliance Check:
Verify that all files comply with KDP’s guidelines to avoid upload rejections or quality issues.
Provide feedback if any adjustments are necessary.
Requirements:
Proven experience with KDP formatting and publishing.
Familiarity with KDP’s requirements for paperback books, including file types, dimensions, and resolution standards.
Strong attention to detail to ensure the finished product is polished and professional.
Excellent communication skills to guide a first-time author through the process.
Deliverables:
A properly formatted manuscript ready for upload.
Successfully uploaded cover art and interior files on my KDP account.
Clear instructions or support for any post-upload adjustments, if needed.
Budget and Timeline:
Please provide your estimated fee and time required for this project. I am looking for a quick turnaround to get the book published promptly.
If you have experience publishing books on KDP and can ensure a seamless process for a first-time author, I’d love to work with you! Please include examples of previous KDP projects or publications in your application.
Thank you, and I look forward to your proposals!
