Amazon Kindle Publishing Support
Prepare your book and your files for your chosen KDP editions.
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing gives authors a route to publish selected book formats through their own accounts. Preparing a release still requires careful decisions about text, artwork, metadata, and production files. We can help you organize that preparation while keeping account decisions and final approval with you.

Frequently asked questions
Good Questions.
Honest Answers.
Everything you'd like to know about amazon kindle publishing. If your question isn't here, we're always happy to talk.
Ask Us a QuestionDo I need my own KDP account?
Account ownership and access should be clarified before work starts. You are responsible for accurate personal, payment, and tax information.
Are you affiliated with Amazon?
No. InkStone Publisher provides independent publishing support and does not represent Amazon.
Can you guarantee platform approval?
No. Amazon applies its own content and technical review requirements.
Can you help with both print and ebook files?
We can discuss both formats. The proposal will identify the editions and deliverables included.
How long does it take to publish a book on Amazon?
It depends on the length and complexity of your manuscript, but most projects take a few weeks from the first draft you send us to the finished, live listing. We will give you a realistic timeline once we have seen your manuscript.
Do I need to live in the United States to use this service?
No. While we focus on Amazon book publishing in the United States and understand the US tax and account setup, we work with authors based anywhere who want that support.
Will I still own my book after you publish it?
Yes. The KDP account, the manuscript, and all your rights stay with you. We publish under your account, not ours, and we never take a share of your royalties.
Can you help if Amazon has already rejected my book?
Yes. This is a common problem, and it is usually down to a formatting or metadata issue. Send us the rejection notice, and we can usually identify what went wrong quickly.
Do you offer both ebook and paperback publishing?
Yes. We format for Kindle and can also prepare a print-ready file for paperback, so your book is available in both formats from the same listing.
Is there ongoing support after my book goes live?
Yes. If you need a correction, an updated cover, or want to publish a second edition, you can come back to us at any point.
Where in the United States do you work with authors?
We work with authors right across the United States, from Chicago and Cork to smaller towns and rural areas. Since the whole process happens by email and video call, your location does not affect how we work together.
