FAQ
Will my book be accepted by Amazon KDP and IngramSpark?
Yes, 100%. I guarantee that your files will pass the technical validation process on both platforms. I handle all the complex settings, including margins, bleed, gutter, and font embedding. If you encounter any upload errors, I will fix them for free until your book is live
What files do I need to provide to get started?
I require your final, edited manuscript in a Word Doc (.doc/.docx) format. For cookbooks, please provide your high-resolution images separately or embedded in the document. Having your final trim size (e.g., 6x9 or 8.5x11) decided beforehand is also essential.
Do you format "Fixed Layout" or "Reflowable" Ebooks?
I offer both! For text-heavy books, I provide Reflowable EPUBs so readers can adjust font sizes. For image-heavy cookbooks, I can provide a Fixed Layout style to ensure your recipes and photos stay perfectly aligned, just like the print version
Can you fix a file that was already rejected?
Absolutely. Many of my clients come to me after their own files were rejected due to "insufficient margins" or "transparency issues." I will audit your current file, identify the technical errors, and re-format it to meet the strict 2026 industry standards
Are the images in my cookbook guaranteed to be high quality?
I will optimize your images for CMYK color profiles and ensure they are set to 300 DPI for the highest print quality. Please note that the final print quality depends on the resolution of the original files you provide
