I’m ready to take my completed non-fiction manuscript to print and Kindle, and I need an experienced book designer to guide the final production steps.
The essentials I’m looking for:
• A premium, elegant cover that stands out in the business genre and meets Amazon KDP’s print and Kindle specifications.
• Interior formatting and typesetting of roughly 60,000 words (paperback trim size to be agreed), delivered as a press-ready PDF.
• A well-tested EPUB that passes Kindle Previewer and EPUBCheck without errors.
• Guidance securing an ISBN and correctly assigning it to the paperback and e-book editions.
• Step-by-step assistance during the KDP upload so the files, metadata and pricing publish smoothly.
You’ll receive the final, fully edited manuscript in Word format as soon as we start. I can also supply the book title, subtitle, author bio and back-cover copy once the cover concept is underway.
Acceptance criteria
1. Cover: layered source file (Adobe InDesign or Photoshop) plus print-ready PDF and high-res JPEG for marketing.
2. Interior: native layout file and flattened PDF that passes KDP print preview with no bleed or margin issues.
3. EPUB: validated file compatible with Kindle devices and Apple Books.
4. Handover: clear instructions for ISBN registration and a short walkthrough of the KDP upload dashboard (screenshare or concise PDF guide).
If you regularly work in InDesign, Kindle Create, Sigil or similar tools and understand Amazon’s ever-changing specs, we’ll be a great fit. Looking forward to seeing examples of business or non-fiction titles you’ve produced.
