Our step-by-step guide for children’s book formatting and layout that ensures your book looks perfect inside and out. We carefully format each page, align illustrations, and prepare files that meet publishing standards without any confusion.
1
Illustration Creation
We start by bringing your story to life. We create custom illustrations for your book, each one designed to match your characters, tone, and story perfectly.
2
Interior and Cover Formatting
Once illustrations are ready, we format both the interior and cover of your book to meet KDP specifications exactly. When we’re done, all you need to do is upload the files and publish.

Paperback Formatting
Paperback Book Interior: This covers all the inner pages of your book. The interior must be at least 24 pages. If you have less than 24 pages, we meet this requirement by arranging the text on the left page and the illustration on the right, creating a clean, easy-to-read layout that works beautifully in print.
Paperback Book Cover: This includes a fully designed front and back cover, formatted to KDP’s exact print specifications.

Kindle eBook Formatting
To publish your book on Kindle for online reading, two files are needed:
eBook Interior: A fixed-layout digital file that keeps your text and illustrations exactly where they should be on every device.
JPEG Book Cover: The front cover of your book in JPEG format, ready for your Kindle listing.
5
Hardcover Formatting
Hardcover Book Interior: Same as the paperback interior, formatted and ready for print. Clean layout, proper margins, and all illustrations placed correctly.
Hardcover Book Cover: A fully designed hardcover wrap, including front, back, and spine, formatted to exact print specifications.
For hardcover publishing, we use Amazon KDP for books with 72 or more pages and IngramSpark for books under 72 pages.

Upload Support
Once your eBook, paperback, and hardcover files are ready, we don’t just hand them over and leave you on your own. We guide you through the entire upload process on your publishing platform, whether that’s Amazon KDP or IngramSpark, so your book goes live without any stress or confusion.
We also help you with marketing content to promote it. From social media posts to book descriptions and promotional graphics, we give you everything you need to get your book in front of the right readers.
