Chapter 1 – The Harbour at Dusk

The lamp had not been lit in nine days, and the town had begun to talk. Ana counted the boats from the sea wall — eleven out, eleven back—and told herself the keeper was only sick.

By morning the rumour had a name, and the name had a price. She took the cliff road before the shops opened, [check spacing??] the wind pushing her the whole way up.

How it works

From draft to bookstore-ready, in minutes

1

Upload & confirm

We read your chapters, parts, and front matter straight from your document’s own structure. Anything ambiguous becomes a plain-language question. If anything is unclear, we ask before we typeset.

2

We typeset & verify

Your book is set in a professional 6×9″ interior and reflowable EPUB, then checked against Amazon KDP’s rulebook: margins, fonts, page counts, image resolution, down to the exact geometry of every page.

3

Preview, then pay

Read the full preflight report and every typeset page free. One payment unlocks the clean files and your certificate. If KDP rejects a certified file, you get your money back.

The Typesheep proof desk: a free preview of a typeset book, showing pages 10 and 11 side by side with running heads, page numbers and a chapter opener, before payment

The checks

Every KDP rule checked, before you pay a cent

GuaranteeWhat we verify
✓ Nothing lost Every paragraph of your manuscript is fingerprinted and matched against the finished PDF and EPUB. Anything missing blocks the build and gets shown to you verbatim.
✓ KDP compliant Trim size, gutter and outside margins by page count, embedded fonts, minimum type size, blank-page limits, image resolution, and annotation rules: Amazon’s print rulebook, applied line by line.
✓ Typeset with care Widows, runts, hyphen ladders, table-of-contents page numbers verified against the actual pages, running heads checked spread by spread.
✓ Kindle-ready EPUB EPUB 3 with device-controlled text, correct start-reading position, validated by the industry’s standard checker.

Checks come straight from Amazon’s own sources: the KDP help pages and the Kindle Publishing Guidelines v2026.2. The rulebook is versioned (kdp-2026.07), and your preflight certificate records exactly which version your book passed.

FAQ

Questions authors ask before uploading

What file formats can I upload?

Word (.docx), OpenDocument (.odt), or Markdown (.md). We read chapters, parts, and front matter from your document's own structure, and ask a plain-language question whenever something is ambiguous instead of guessing.

How long does formatting a book take?

Uploading takes about two minutes. The book is typeset into a 6×9″ print interior and reflowable EPUB, checked against Amazon KDP's rulebook, and the full preview is usually ready to read a few minutes later.

Is the preview really free?

Yes. You can read the full preflight report and every typeset page before paying anything. One payment unlocks the clean files and your certificate.

How much does it cost?

Priced by length: $20 up to 150 pages, $30 to 350, $40 beyond, per book. You see your exact price on the preview, before paying. Additional editions of the same title are $20 each.

What happens if my book fails a check?

The preflight report shows exactly what failed and where, including any paragraph that would have gone missing, quoted verbatim. Fix the manuscript and rebuild: previews are free, and a purchased book includes 30 days of unlimited rebuilds.

Do you publish my book to KDP for me?

No. You keep control of your own KDP account and upload the files yourself. We hand you a certified print PDF and Kindle EPUB, ready to go, and if KDP rejects a certified file you get your money back.
