Design and Illustrate Amazon KDP Children's Book

Children’s Book Layout & Graphics Designer Needed (Amazon KDP Ready)
I’m looking for a talented children’s book layout designer/illustrator to help bring my completed manuscript to life. The story is already fully written — what I need now is someone who can transform it into a visually engaging, professionally formatted book ready for Amazon KDP publishing.

Project Overview
Book length: Under 40 pages
Content: Fully written; no scriptwriting required
Age group: Young children
Goal: Create a fun, visually appealing layout with original graphics and interactive pages
Format: Must meet Amazon KDP print specifications (correct trim size, margins, bleed, etc.)


I’m looking for someone who can:
Design a full interior layout suitable for a children’s picture book
Create original illustrations/graphics that match the tone and theme of the story
Ensure the final file is KDP‑ready (PDF format, correct dimensions, bleed settings, print‑safe colors)
Include 3–4 interactive activity pages, such as:
Coloring page
Word search
Spot‑the‑difference
Simple puzzle or matching game

You’re a great fit if you:
Have experience designing children’s books
Understand Amazon KDP formatting requirements
Can create bright, child‑friendly illustrations
Pay attention to detail and layout consistency
Communicate clearly and deliver on time


Summary of job: Fully designed interior (less than 40 pages)
3–4 interactive activity pages
Print‑ready PDF for KDP
Source files (PSD, AI, or similar)
Suggestions for trim size (e.g., 8.5x8.5, 8x10, etc.)

Timeline: I’m looking to begin immediately and would like the project completed within 2 weeks.

Please include the following in your proposal:
