Robert R.
KDP Formatting & Cover Specialist | 150+ Books | Consults Available
Has your book been rejected by KDP, or does it look wrong on Kindle or in print? I format Amazon KDP ebooks and paperbacks that are clean, professional, and fully compliant with Kindle Direct Publishing requirements, so they publish correctly the first time. With 150+ books formatted across nonfiction, fiction, workbooks, journals, and illustrated layouts, I turn raw manuscripts into publication-ready files that read well on Kindle devices and print correctly as paperbacks. My work maintains a 97%+ first-time approval rate on Amazon KDP. If your book has failed uploads, a broken layout, or inconsistent structure, I can find the problem, fix it, and deliver a clean file ready for publication. What I Do Best I handle both the technical and design sides of book production. Your book won't just be formatted. It will be structured correctly for Amazon's systems and designed to look professional on the page.
