KDP setup, listing optimization, category and keyword research, A+ Content, pricing strategy. You own the account from day one.
KDP looks simple from the outside and is full of small decisions that compound. Wrong category, weak keywords, generic A+ Content, no series-page setup. We do the boring detail work that puts your book on the right Amazon shelf.
Behind the scenes
Five shots from the studio — the kind of work that ends up on your project.
The work, in three tabs
The account is in your name, your bank, your tax info. We work on it via authorized access. You keep the keys.
We write the listing copy from your manuscript and brief. Title, subtitle, description, A+ Content modules.

Amazon KDP publishing — FAQ
A+ Content is the rich-media section below your book description on Amazon. Images, comparison charts, author quotes, brand story. It is brand-registered authors' only on most categories. Worth doing — book pages with A+ Content convert 5–15% better in our data.
KDP Select gives you Kindle Unlimited (KU) page-read royalties and locks you out of every other ebook retailer. For most genre fiction in fast-moving niches (romance, thriller, fantasy series) KU is the right call. For literary fiction, business books, memoir, and most non-fiction, wide distribution via IngramSpark + Apple Books + Kobo + Google Play is better. We model the unit economics on the discovery call.
With you. The account is yours. We have authorized access to operate it; we do not own it. Many of our competitors put the book on their own account and pay you out, which means they can hold your listing hostage if you ever leave. We do not do that.
Three primary categories, each with rationale. The first should be your strongest, most defensible match (highest chance of bestseller flag). The second and third should be category-page placements you can credibly compete in. We use a tool that reverse-engineers what categories the top books in your genre are listed under, then pick from there. Random hyper-narrow categories are a 2022 hack Amazon has been quietly cracking down on.
