Cover wrap calibration

Side-by-side viewer to comment on specific pages. Most books need none; complex non-fiction sometimes needs both. Additional rounds £19 each.

KDP-approval guarantee

If KDP rejects your file for a formatting reason, we fix it free. We've never had a rejection — but the guarantee is the principle.

You upload to KDP yourself (their browser interface, no API). We send a one-page guide with your exact trim size, spine width, category recommendations and keyword starters.

UK-based, no Mac required

You send a Word file (or PDF, Google Docs, RTF, ODT, EPUB, plain text). We send back finished files. No software to install, no learning curve, no platform restriction.

What UK authors say

A real review from a verified customer — plus our accreditation by the Alliance of Independent Authors.

★★★★★

"Publishing.co.uk is a fantastic service. They did an incredible job of formatting my book, made all the small edits I requested, and turned it around — as promised — within 24 hours. It took a massive load of stress off my plate, and they caught and corrected a few last little typos too. The guides they provide are so, so helpful. Highly recommend."
