Book Formatting Services: The 7 Best Options to Hire

Formatting is the part of publishing that nobody brags about, until it goes wrong. A book can have a strong idea, clean writing, even a great cover, and still feel “off” the moment someone opens it.

When to Seek Help During the Fiction Writing Process

When to Seek Help During the Fiction Writing Process

Writing fiction can feel like building a whole world while you are still learning the laws of gravity. Some days it flows, and you surprise yourself. Other days you stare at a page and wonder if you ever knew how stories work. If you are in that second place, you are not alone. Most writers, even confident ones, need outside support at certain moments. Not because they are “not talented,” but because fiction has a lot of moving parts.

What Book Reviewers Expect from Authors and Publishers

What Book Reviewers Expect from Authors and Publishers

If you’ve ever sent a review request and heard nothing back, it’s easy to feel ignored. Most of the time, it’s not personal. Book reviewers are usually juggling a backlog, a full inbox, and the pressure of keeping their audience’s trust. They may love reading, but reviewing is still work. It takes time to finish a book, take notes, write something honest, format it for their platform, and post it consistently.

Why Is Amazon Shutting Down KDP Accounts?

Why Is Amazon Shutting Down KDP Accounts?

If you keep hearing about Amazon shutting down KDP accounts, it usually means authors are getting suspended, terminated, or having titles removed after Amazon flags something in the account or in the books being sold. For most people, it is not a mystery “Amazon woke up angry” situation. It is Amazon protecting readers, protecting its store from spam, and enforcing rules that publishers agree to when they use KDP. The tricky part is that the email you receive can feel short, and the issue can be something you did not realize was risky.

Does Amazon Own Your Book If You Self-Publish?

Does Amazon Own Your Book If You Self-Publish?

No, Amazon does not “own” your book just because you self-publish on Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). In most cases, you keep your copyright and control, and you simply give Amazon permission to sell and distribute your book through their platform. The confusion usually comes from a few real details that sound scary if you do not know what they mean: Amazon requires a license to distribute your book, KDP Select can add exclusivity for the ebook, and Amazon may keep files available for customers who already bought the book. Those things are not the same as ownership.

The Business Side of Modern Book Publishing Services

The Business Side of Modern Book Publishing Services

Publishing a book feels creative on the surface. You write, you revise, you choose a cover, you hit publish. But once you decide you want real readers, real sales, and a professional reputation, publishing becomes a business project. You are not only “putting a book online.” You are launching a product into a crowded marketplace where people judge fast. They judge your cover in a second. They judge your description in ten seconds. They judge your formatting in the first two pages. And if something feels off, they leave.

The Role of Creative Design in Book Marketing

The Role of Creative Design in Book Marketing

Most authors think marketing starts after the book is published. In reality, marketing starts much earlier, often before the book ever reaches a reader’s hands. It starts with how the book looks, how it presents itself, and how easily someone can recognize it as something worth paying attention to. Creative design plays a much bigger role in book marketing than many authors expect.
