Scene-break ornaments that breathe. Drop caps on every first chapter page. Series branding kept consistent across book one, two and the box set. We format romance — contemporary, historical, paranormal, RH — so it reads the way readers expect.
Drop your manuscript and we run the same 30+ checks Amazon does, line by line, in under a minute. You get a clear /100 score, every failure point flagged, and the exact fix for each one. Whether you book us, do it yourself, or hire someone else — running this first means you don't pay for a service you didn't need.

Acceptable alternatives: 5.06×7.81 in or 5.25×8 in · all are KDP-approved trim sizes
Mass-market romance overwhelmingly lives at 5×8. Readers expect a pocket-sized paperback, and the smaller trim means a thicker spine for a given word-count — which looks more substantial on the shelf and gives you room for series branding on the back.
Romance is text-only — no image pre-flight needed, but every typographic detail matters.
The six things that make romance novel formatting different from generic novel formatting.
Glyph dividers between scenes (rose, heart, fleuron — your call). Consistent every chapter. Reflowable on Kindle, centred on print.
Three-line raised drop cap opens every chapter. Renders correctly on Kindle, Paperwhite, Fire, iOS Books and Kobo — not just print.
Series title, book number and author logo carried through every interior. Book two matches book one exactly. Box sets reuse the same masters.
We don't censor — but we flag any layout choice (heavy italics blocks, excessive caps) that's tripped KU's auto-filters in 2026.
"Also by" page, mailing-list CTA, review request, sneak-peek of book two. The back-matter that turns a one-time reader into a series reader.
Dedication, content warning (if any), epigraph, copyright — laid out the way trad romance imprints do it, not the way Word defaults.
Whatever the book type, this is what every order includes.
KDP-compliant margins, mirrored gutters scaled to your page count, 0.125-inch bleed where needed, embedded fonts, 300 DPI image pre-flight, semantic page-break logic.
Optimised for every Kindle device including phone reading. Clean chapter recognition, working drop caps, scene-break ornaments, properly-linked TOC, semantic ordered/unordered lists.
Spine width auto-calculated from your final page count. Cover supplied to KDP-template spec for paperback, hardback or both. Full-bleed art tested against KDP's print profile.
Side-by-side viewer to comment on specific pages. Most books need none; complex non-fiction sometimes needs both. Additional rounds £19 each.
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 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.
From £69 for print-ready PDF. £119 for print + Kindle. Picture-book and complete packages from £179.
