Cover Design & Formatting

Genre-matched, competition-grade cover design built to Amazon KDP and IngramSpark technical specifications. Interior formatting to global publishing standards for both print and digital editions. Unlimited revisions until every element is approved. Learn about cover design.

Global Distribution

Simultaneous submission to Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Kobo, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble and 40+ global retail platforms. Your book goes live in 42+ countries in print and digital formats from the first day of publication. Learn about distribution.

Marketing & Launch

Amazon keyword optimisation, launch strategy, press release outreach and paid advertising management. Structured to increase Amazon rankings, build visibility across Google and social platforms, and generate consistent long-term sales. Learn about marketing.
