GOOD TO KNOW
Before you decide.
What does a KDP interior editor work on?
This service covers the inside-page layout and formatting of the book. Developmental editing, proofreading, cover design and Kindle ebook formatting are separate scopes and should be agreed explicitly.
Can you guarantee KDP approval?
No. Final acceptance is determined by Amazon. The work is prepared against the relevant published specifications, with preview checks and a defined correction scope.
What should I share for an initial estimate?
Describe the book type, approximate page count, source format, desired trim size, illustrations or tables, and any existing formatting issue. Manuscript access can be arranged after the scope is understood.
