I will design a complete coloring book for KDP publishing


About this gig
Most colouring books look the same.
Yours doesn't have to.
I design complete colouring book packages for KDP from cover through every interior plate to the editorial pages that turn a colouring book into something readers genuinely want to own.
Every illustration is AI-generated and individually enhanced. Not generic stock. Not unedited output. Original, cohesive artwork built around your theme.
My gothic dragonfly anthology Wings of Fire is a published example of exactly what this service delivers: a dual-market KDP title that works as both a literary colouring anthology and a commercial publication. My children's picture book The Tortoise Who Counted Stars demonstrates the same illustration quality for younger readers.
I work across dark gothic, botanical, mandala, whimsical, and children's styles.
Basic gets you started: cover plus 15 plates, ready to test the market. The standard is fully publishable: 32 plates, editorial pages, and a complete package. Premium is Wings of Fire-level unlimited plates and full literary anthology treatment.
All packages include print-ready KDP files from day one.
Let's build something worth colouring.

FAQ
Q: Do I need to supply my own illustrations or do you create them?
A: Neither is required upfront. I generate original illustrations using AI tools and then individually enhance and refine each one in Photoshop to produce clean, high-quality coloring pages. If you have existing artwork you'd like to incorporate, I can work with that too.
Q: What illustration styles do you offer?
A: I work across dark gothic, botanical, floral, mandala, geometric, whimsical, and children's illustration styles. Share reference images and I will match your vision closely.
Q: Can I see an example of a completed coloring book?
A: Yes — Wings of Fire, a gothic coloring anthology, and The Tortoise Who Counted Stars, a children's illustrated book, are both published under Van Eeden Press. View both in my portfolio.
Q: What files will I receive?
A: All packages include print-ready JPG, PNG, and PDF files formatted to KDP specifications. Standard and Premium packages also include source files via shared Canva link.
Q: How many coloring plates are included in each package?
A: Basic includes 15 plates — enough to test the market. Standard includes 32 plates — fully publishable on KDP. Premium includes unlimited plates at Wings of Fire level — a complete literary coloring anthology.
Q: Can you source poetry or prose for the editorial pages?
A: Yes. I source open-license and public domain poetry and prose relevant to your theme. Wings of Fire incorporates Gerard Manley Hopkins and other poets as part of its literary identity — the same approach is available across all packages that include editorial pages.
