KDP Paperback Formatting & Cover

Job ID: 40424312

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

I am ready to move my 196-page historical-fiction manuscript from “final draft” to “live on Amazon” and need a single specialist to take it the rest of the way. Your task is straightforward but must be executed to KDP’s exacting standards:

• Build a clean, professional 6 × 9 interior layout on cream stock, integrating the chapter images I supply and setting proper bleed, margins, and running headers/footers.
• Design the full paperback cover wrap (front, spine, back) based on my concept, calculating spine width from the final page count.
• Deliver press-quality, KDP-ready PDFs—one for the interior, one for the cover—plus any working files you create (InDesign, Affinity, Scribus, etc.) so I can archive them.

Experience is non-negotiable: I need proof of previous paperbacks you formatted and covers you wrapped that are currently approved and selling on Amazon. When you reply, include live KDP links or screenshots, and confirm you understand bleed, trim, and the KDP previewer.

Payment releases once the files upload without errors and KDP approves the title. If you are confident in your KDP track record, let’s get this novel on the shelf.
