About this gig

Is your book cover stuck in review or rejected due to bleed, margin, or trim size errors?


Self-publishing platforms like Amazon KDP and IngramSpark use automated software that flags even sub-millimeter layout mistakes. I fix non-compliant cover files and convert them into print-ready PDFs guaranteed to pass validation.


What I Fix:


  • Bleed Violations: Extending cover artwork to the required 0.125" (3.2mm) bleed boundary.
  • Margin & Safe-Zone Errors: Relocating titles, text, and logos away from the trim box.
  • Spine Thickness Misalignments: Recalculating spine width to match your exact paper weight and page count.
  • Barcode Box Overlaps: Adjusting graphics to keep the lower-right barcode zone clear.
  • Export & Resolution Issues: Updating files to 300+ DPI in CMYK print color spaces.


Supported Publishing Platforms:


Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble Press, Lulu, & Blurb.


What to Provide:


  1. Your cover file (PDF, PSD, AI, Canva link, or high-res image).
  2. Total page count & paper type (white or cream).
  3. Target trim size (e.g., 6x9).
  4. Rejection screenshot (if provided by platform).
