I will fix KDP upload errors, bleed issues, and paperback formatting


About this gig
Is Amazon KDP rejecting your manuscript? If you are stuck facing frustrating bleed errors, margin issues, or cover upload rejections, you are in the right place.
Many authors try to format their own books, only to get stuck during the final upload phase. I am here to step in, fix the technical problems, and get your book approved fast.
What I will fix for you:
- Manuscript bleed and no-bleed errors
- Incorrect inside/outside margins and gutter sizes
- Text running off the page or cutting into the trim line
- ePub and paperback layout distortions
- Page numbering, headers, and clickable table of contents problems
I work with all major genres that face formatting issues, including:
- Childrens picture books (Full bleed layout)
- Poetry books and anthologies (Custom text alignment)
- Journals, planners, and coloring books
- Memoirs and cookbooks with images and tables
You will receive 100% print-ready files (PDF and ePub) that pass KDP, IngramSpark, or Lulu validation on the first try.
Stop wasting hours trying to figure out printing guidelines. Send me your manuscript, tell me the error message you received, and lets get your book published today!

FAQ
What information do you need from me to start?
I need your source manuscript file (Word document or Docx), your book trim size (e.g., 6x9), and a screenshot or description of the exact error message you received from KDP or IngramSpark.
Can you fix full-bleed layout issues for children's picture books?
Yes. Children’s books are frequently rejected because illustrations do not stretch fully to the edge or vital elements get cut off in print preview. I recalculate your margins and page bleed to fix this perfectly.
What happens if my book gets rejected again after you deliver?
I work with you until your file is completely approved. If you face any rejection during upload, simply send me a screenshot of the new error, and I will modify the file immediately for free.
Do you format books for both print and digital versions?
My Standard package focuses on print-ready PDF files for paperbacks and hardcovers. My Premium package includes both the print-ready PDF and a reflowable ePub file for Kindle and digital e-readers.
Can you help if my book cover layout is rejected?
Yes. If your cover spine is too thick, too thin, or the text is outside the safe zone, select my basic package. I will resize your cover template to fit your exact page count.
