FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What are KDP publishing services?
They are professional services that prepare your book for Kindle Direct Publishing: interior formatting, print-ready covers, metadata, keywords and listing setup. You keep your own account, rights and royalties.
Is KDP Publishing Online affiliated with Amazon or KDP?
No. KDP Publishing Online is an independent company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Amazon or Kindle Direct Publishing. We help authors use the platform; we are not part of it.
What is the difference between self-publishing and traditional publishing?
In self-publishing you control the book, the rights and the royalties, and you arrange the editing, cover and distribution yourself or with a team like ours. In traditional publishing a publisher takes on those jobs in exchange for rights and a share of income.
Can a first-time author use ghostwriting services?
Yes. Many authors are first-timers. You share your ideas and goals, and a professional writer shapes them into a book in your voice.
Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes. You keep full ownership, copyright and royalties for your manuscript, cover and every other deliverable.
How long does it take to publish a book?
It depends on the services you choose and the state of your manuscript. Your written quote includes a timeline for each stage before any work begins.
Can I buy just one service, like a cover or editing?
Yes. Every service is available on its own, or you can combine services into a bundle.
Will you help promote my book after it is published?
Yes. Our marketing services cover launch planning, content, author websites and trailers. We never promise bestseller status or guaranteed sales.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Your work is shared only with the team members assigned to your project, and we can sign a confidentiality agreement before you send it.
How do I get a quote?
