I will fix rejected book formatting, kdp book interior, book layout design


About this gig
Hi, I'm John. There's a specific kind of frustration that comes with hitting publish on KDP and getting a rejection instead, especially when you have no idea what actually triggered it. Margins that are technically off by a fraction. A table of contents that doesn't link correctly. Images that look fine until Amazon's system flags them. These errors rarely announce themselves clearly, and chasing them down alone can turn a finished book into a stalled one.
What I offer:
- Full diagnostic review of your rejected file against KDP's current specifications
- Correction of margin, bleed, and trim size errors
- Fixing broken or non-functional table of contents links
- Image resolution and placement correction for both eBook and print
- Complete interior layout rebuild when the existing file has many compounding issues
- A final file tested and confirmed ready for resubmission
You already did the hard part by writing the book. Don't let a formatting technicality keep it from readers. Send me your rejected file and the error message KDP gave you, and I'll tell you exactly what's wrong and how fast it can be fixed.

FAQ
KDP only gave me a vague error message. Can you still figure out what's wrong?
Yes. KDP's rejection messages are often generic even when the underlying issue is specific. I go through your file against their current technical requirements systematically, checking margins, bleed, image resolution, and structure, so I can pinpoint the actual cause.
Do you need the KDP rejection email, or just the manuscript file?
Both help, but the file is essential. If you have the rejection email or error message, send it along too, it can point me toward the issue faster, but I can diagnose most problems directly from the file itself if that's all you have.
My file looks fine on my computer. Why would KDP still reject it?
This is common. A file can display correctly in Word or even in a basic PDF viewer while still failing KDP's specific technical requirements for bleed, embedded fonts, or image resolution. These are processing level issues that only show up once the file is actually run through KDP's system.
Will you just patch the error, or fix the whole file properly?
It depends on what I find. If it's an isolated issue, I fix that specifically without touching the rest of your layout. If the errors are more widespread or suggest deeper formatting problems, I'll tell you honestly and recommend a fuller rebuild so you're not facing repeat rejections.
How do I know the fixed file will actually pass this time?
Before returning your file, I check it against KDP's current specifications point by point, covering the exact category your rejection fell under. While I can't guarantee Amazon's system behavior, I make sure the file meets every documented requirement before it goes back to you.
