Paperback and eBook Formatting

How it Works?

For a more comfortable reading experience, you may prefer a desktop or laptop.

If you don't want publishing, but only want the Covers and Interiors I can create those files.

For Interiors - Just provide your FINAL manuscript (with Preface, Dedication, Acknowledgements, Foreword, Reviews & Praise, About Author, etc.) in a single MS Word or Google Docs file. I will format them to Amazon and all Non-Amazon Paperback and reflow eBook (epub) specifications.

NOTE: This service does not cover any editing, proofreading, or changes to your book.

Paperback and eBook Cover

For Covers - Provide your Book Title, Subtitle, Author Name, Back Cover Text, and a suitable high resolution image in JPG format. I will then create a professional and minimalistic Paperback and eBook cover for your book.

Why minimalistic covers? - Many new authors spend hundreds of dollars designing a sophisticated cover. Though such covers look great, a minimalistic cover is also sufficient for many book genres. The reason is readers spend only a few seconds looking at it and then dive into the book summary, preface, etc. It's only authors who spend time admiring and examining the molecular details of their book covers :-).

Secondly, when books get loaded online the covers get reduced to a thumbnail size. What really matters is your title, subtitle, and author name should be clearly visible online for readers to click your book. Many top authors like Malcolm Gladwell use minimalistic covers and still sell tons of books. Hence, I recommend a minimalistic cover.

Where do I get high resolution image? - You can go to websites like Pexels.com, Unsplash.com, or Pixabay.com and download a free high resolution image suitable for your book topic. These websites allow images to be used free for commercial purposes.

What if I want sophisticated covers? - That's okay. If you want superior/sophisticated covers you can get them done externally. A great site for superb covers is https://thebookcoverdesigner.com/shop/ (Prices range US$50 to US$300) I will give the specifications for the eBook and Paperback cover to share with your designer.

Important - Use of AI in your Books

Nowadays it's very easy for anyone to churn out books on any genre/topic using artificial intelligence, even with no experience on the subject. However, Amazon and Non-Amazon platforms have introduced strict policies and AI detection software to detect books created with little or no human effort. If your manuscript appears to be fully AI-generated, poorly edited, or produced in bulk it may be rejected, removed from publication, or even your account suspended.

Authors using my assisted self-publishing service should provide manuscripts that have a high degree of your human effort, creativity, writing, and editing. You can use AI for brainstorming, research facts, or minor editing, but your book should not be entirely created by AI. Hence, please ensure that your manuscript is original submitting it for formatting and publishing.

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation - Herman Melville
