Professional Book Editing, Formatting & Cover Design ready for Amazon publishing
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Description:
I’m looking for an experienced book editor and designer to transform my completed manuscript (120+ pages) into a fully polished, publication-ready book for Amazon (KDP). Should be mirrored after the SAT, LSAT and MCAT books (official guidebooks).
This is NOT just basic proofreading — I need a professional, end-to-end finish that meets commercial publishing standards.
Scope of Work:
1. Editing
* Full professional editing (clarity, flow, tone)
* Improve readability and structure where needed
* Ensure consistency across the entire book
2. Formatting for Amazon KDP:
* Proper formatting for Kindle (eBook) and paperback
* Clean layout, spacing, headings, table of contents
* Ensure compliance with Amazon KDP requirements
* Deliver files ready for direct upload
3. Cover Design (Based on Existing Mockup):
* I already have a rough cover concept/mockup (based on SAT book)
* You will redesign it to look fully professional and market-ready
* Front, spine, and back cover (paperback)
* Optimized for Amazon standards and high conversion
Deliverables:
* Final edited manuscript (Word + PDF)
* Kindle-ready file (EPUB or KDP format)
* Print-ready paperback file (PDF)
* Professional cover design (source files included)
Ideal Candidate:
* Proven experience editing books (please share samples)
* Experience publishing or preparing books for Amazon KDP
* Strong design skills for book covers
* Attention to detail and ability to elevate content quality
* Experience with nonfiction / educational / technical books
* Suggestions to improve marketability (title, structure, etc.)
Timeline:
* Ideally completed within 5-7 days
To Apply:
Please include:
* Examples of books you’ve edited/formatted/designed
* Your process (briefly)
* Estimated timeline
* Fixed price
