Publishing
Amazon KDP publishing service. Live on Amazon, done properly.
Formatting, upload, categories and keywords, so your book goes live on Amazon in paperback, hardback and Kindle. Under your account, with your royalties.
- NDA before you share details
- You keep every right
- Written by people, never AI
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is the quickest way to get a book in front of readers. It is also full of small decisions that affect sales: trim size, categories, keywords, pricing and the description that sells your book.
We handle the technical side. We format your interior for print and Kindle, prepare your cover to spec, write your book description, choose categories and keywords, and set everything up on your own KDP account.
You keep full control and 100% of your royalties. We never publish under our account or take a share of sales.
Who it is for.
- First-time self-publishers
- Authors moving from ebook-only to print
- Businesses publishing a book for clients
- Ghostwriting clients ready to launch

At 62, Mary Ellis had never left Yorkshire. At 63, she drove a borrowed Land Rover from Leeds to Lagos. This is the story of that journey, and of the daughter she went to find.
