Book Publishing

Updated: 2/Feburary/2026

You have your manuscript file. You have your cover design. You’re ready to publish. But now you’re faced with the reality of uploading—not to one site, but to ten different publishing platforms, each with its own confusing interface, unique requirements, and potential for errors.

What if you could just hand over your files and let an expert handle every single upload, ensuring your book goes live correctly on every platform?

That’s exactly what we do. We are your upload experts. Our entire service is built around one core task: taking your finalized files and uploading them perfectly to every major book retailer, so you never have to touch a single dashboard.

The Upload Problem: Why This is Where Authors Get Stuck

Uploading isn’t just clicking “browse.” It’s a technical process where mistakes cause delays, rejections, and a book that looks unprofessional. Here’s what successful uploading actually requires:

  • Platform-Specific File Preparation: Amazon KDP needs different cover dimensions than Barnes & Noble. Apple Books has unique ePub requirements. Kobo has its own formatting rules. One file does not fit all.
  • Metadata Entry Per Platform: You must manually enter your title, description, author bio, categories, and keywords on each separate platform, ensuring consistency while also optimizing for each store’s search algorithm.
  • Account-Specific Settings: Pricing, royalty rates, distribution territories, and tax information must be configured individually for Amazon, B&N, Apple, Kobo, Lulu, and every other platform.
  • Quality Assurance: Each upload requires checking previews, validating files, and confirming that paperback and ebook versions display correctly before hitting “publish.”
  • Error Resolution: When a platform rejects your file (and they often do), you must diagnose the cryptic error message, fix the issue, and re-upload.

This process isn’t just tedious—it’s a minefield where one wrong setting can limit your book’s reach or delay your launch by weeks.

Our Upload Solution: Precision Handling for Every Platform

We remove the entire upload burden. You give us two things: your manuscript file and your cover file. We handle the rest, with precision tailored to each retailer.

What We Upload & Where:

  1. Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)
    • Paperback interior (print-ready PDF)
    • Paperback cover (full wrap with bleed)
    • eBook file (formatted for Kindle)
    • All metadata, pricing, and category selection
  2. Barnes & Noble Press
    • Print-ready PDF and cover
    • Nook eBook file
    • B&N-specific category optimization
  3. Apple Books
    • Formatted ePub file
    • Apple-optimized cover
    • iBooks Store metadata
  4. Kobo Writing Life
    • ePub file meeting Kobo specs
    • International pricing configuration
    • Kobo Plus enrollment setup
  5. Lulu
    • High-quality print file upload
    • Direct distribution setup
  6. Extended Network (Everand, Thalia/Tolino, Bolde, Fable, Vivlio, Smashwords, Palace Marketplace)
    • Formatted files for each platform
    • Platform-specific metadata optimization

The Upload Process: How We Ensure Perfection

Step 1: File Validation & Preparation
We check your files against each platform’s technical specifications before any upload begins. We fix margin issues, DPI problems, and formatting errors that would cause instant rejection.

Step 2: Platform-by-Platform Configuration
We log into each platform (using accounts we create for you) and configure the specific settings required: pricing in multiple currencies, territory rights, royalty options, and distribution channels.

Step 3: Sequential Upload with Quality Checks
We don’t bulk upload. We upload to each platform individually, checking the digital preview after each one to ensure perfect display. We compare the paperback proof against the ebook version for consistency.

Step 4: Final Verification Before Going Live
Before publishing, we provide you with screenshots of every platform’s preview. You see exactly what readers will see on Amazon, B&N, Apple, etc. Only after your approval do we hit “publish” on all platforms simultaneously.

What You Get: Beyond Just Uploads

When we handle your uploads, you receive more than just published listings:

  • Complete Account Ownership: We create every account in your name and deliver all login credentials to you. You own everything.
  • Royalty Direct to You: All payments are configured to go straight from the retailer to your bank account. We never touch your money.
  • Professional Presentation: Your book meets every technical standard, giving readers a polished, professional reading experience.
  • Time Reclaimed: What would take you 20+ hours of upload time across multiple platforms takes us a focused 2 days.
  • Peace of Mind: Zero risk of upload errors causing launch delays or embarrassing formatting issues.

Why Authors Trust Us With Their Uploads

  • We Know the Specifications: We’ve navigated every platform’s upload requirements and error messages. We know what each one wants before we even begin.
  • We Ensure Consistency: Your book looks professional and consistent across Amazon, Apple, Kobo, and everywhere else—no mismatched covers or formatting glitches.

Once the setup is complete and the book is submitted for publishing, it goes live within 48 hours.
Q: Can I sell my book worldwide? +

Q: What if no one buys my book? +
You won’t be charged anything. You only earn when someone purchases your book.
Q: What if I want to make changes to my book later? +
After your book is live, you can update anything — the cover, manuscript, or price — as many times as you want. The new changes become live within 24 hours.
Q: After the setup is complete and the book is live on Amazon, do I need to manage anything monthly or later on? +
No, once your book is live, nothing further is required. Everything works automatically. Your book will continue to be printed on demand whenever someone orders it, and payments will be sent directly to your bank account.
Q: Can I order "author copies" of my book? +
Yes, since it’s your book, you can order author copies at the printing cost only — not the full retail price. For example, if your book is priced at $10 and the printing cost is $3, you’ll pay just $3 per copy (plus shipping and taxes, if applicable), while customers will pay the full $10.
