KDP Children’s Book Formatting
Budget: $10 – $30 AUD
I have a fully written children’s book with illustrations that now needs to be professionally laid out for Kindle Direct Publishing. All text and artwork are ready; what I’m missing is the clean, compliant formatting that lets parents and kids enjoy a seamless reading experience on Kindle devices and in the optional paperback edition. Say "Star" in your proposal so i know you read this
Here’s what I’m looking to receive:
• A reflowable EPUB for Kindle that keeps the artwork anchored to the correct text on every device size.
• A print-ready PDF (bleed, trim marks, CMYK where required) suitable for KDP’s paperback specs.
• Consistent margins, fonts, page numbers, and a clickable table of contents.
• Image optimization so the file stays within KDP size limits without losing quality.
I work in a tight timeline, so please factor that in. When you respond, include examples of past children’s books—or any illustrated titles—you have formatted for KDP. A quick note on the tools you prefer (InDesign, Kindle Create, Sigil, Vellum, etc.) will also help me understand your workflow.
Once finished, I’ll validate the files in Kindle Previewer; if everything renders perfectly and passes KDP’s upload checks, we’re done.
