Self-Help Book Polish & Cover
Budget: £10 – £60 GBP
I’ve completed a 30,000-word self-help manuscript called “It’s Okay to Struggle – The Truth Beneath the Smile.” Now I need a single, reliable partner to turn this finished draft into a publication-ready package for Amazon KDP.
Here’s exactly what I’m after:
Proofreading & light edit
Work through the text in UK English, correcting grammar, punctuation, and flow while preserving my tone and the book’s warm, faith-based voice.
Formatting for Kindle & Print
Prepare a clean, navigable EPUB for Kindle and a 6 × 9-inch PDF for print, each with proper title pages, headings, page numbers, and consistent spacing. Everything must pass KDP preview checks without issues.
Cover design that empowers
Create a powerful front cover that immediately conveys empowerment yet retains a calm, reflective feel. The design must include the title, subtitle, imagery, and my author name. A matching spine and back are welcome but not mandatory. Final artwork should be high-resolution (at least 300 dpi) and supplied in both ready-to-upload and editable source formats.
Deliverables
• Proofread manuscript in Word and print-ready PDF
• Validated EPUB for Kindle
• Print-ready PDF (6 × 9) that meets KDP specifications
• High-res cover files (JPEG/PDF) plus layered source file with full commercial rights
Timeline
I’m aiming to wrap everything within 5–10 days once we start, so please be confident you can meet that window before you apply.
If you’re experienced with KDP standards and love crafting polished, motivating books, I’d love to hear from you.
