KDP Trade Paperback Formatting
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have a manuscript of fewer than 300 pages that now needs to be professionally compiled and formatted for Kindle Direct Publishing as a trade-paperback release. The goal is a clean, traditional novel layout set in a typeface (Garamond) and delivered in both editable .docx and print-ready PDF so I can upload directly to KDP.
Key layout notes
• Traditional novel structure throughout
• Each chapter title begins on its own page
• Consistent headers and/or footers that suit the book’s style (e.g., book title, Section name, chapter name, page numbers)
Process and collaboration
– I will provide the complete text and any front- or back-matter the moment we start.
– Expect up to three rounds of review; my publishing team will supply consolidated red-line feedback by email after each pass.
– When we sign off on the final round, you hand over the polished .docx and its matching PDF, ready for KDP upload.
If everything runs smoothly, there are two to three additional titles waiting in the queue under the same workflow.
