Book Formatting

If you're unfamiliar with Kindle Create or just not sure how to format your book ready for publishing, then you've come to the right place.

Over the years I've self-published all of my own books, which are available to buy on Amazon.  Formatting them to the highest possible quality, and ready to upload on Kindle Direct Publishing.

Why Does Book Formatting Matter?

When your book is formatted professionally it should be to the industry standard, otherwise it has no hope of being published.   

The service I provide allows you, the client, to publish both an ebook and paperback version of your manuscript.

Nonfiction Books

My speciality is nonfiction book formatting.
