Description
KDP Builder helps authors move from a book idea or existing manuscript to a package of publishing files. The browser-based studio brings research, outlining, AI-assisted drafting, editing, cover creation, interior formatting, and metadata preparation into a guided process. Authors review chapters and lock approved text as they work.
Workflows cover fiction, nonfiction, children's books, cookbooks, memoirs, puzzles, coloring books, journals, planners, and workbooks. The Design Studio provides editable cover templates, text and image layers, typography controls, print guides, and AI artwork tools. Depending on the book type and workflow, exports include EPUB, DOCX, print-ready PDF files, covers, descriptions, keywords, categories, and upload checklists. Users download their files for submission to Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Lulu, or another publishing service.
New users receive 75 one-time credits after email verification, valid for 14 days, without a credit card. Monthly plans start at $19 for 250 credits; larger subscriptions and one-time credit packs are available. Paid credits do not expire. KDP Builder is operated by Quigglys LLC and is independent of Amazon. Authors retain commercial rights, review generated content, and remain responsible for publishing requirements.
Description
ShelfPublisher is an online platform designed for authors who have finalized and print-ready paperback manuscripts. Once authors gain access, they can purchase a publishing slot for a single book and upload both the interior PDF and cover via the website. After Orbita Media conducts a review of the submitted files, it allocates an ISBN from its publisher block, publishes the approved titles under its own imprint, registers essential book metadata with bibliographic databases, and manages print-on-demand production along with wholesale catalog distribution that reaches over 50,000 bookstores across 18 countries. Retaining their copyright, authors receive 30% of the net revenue from each copy sold for single-slot titles, with some subscription options providing even greater revenue shares. Sales reports are provided on a quarterly basis, and each publishing slot is valid for a duration of 36 months. This service eliminates the need for a print run, inventory purchases, or additional fees for ISBNs, making it an accessible option for authors looking to publish their work. By simplifying the publishing process, ShelfPublisher empowers authors to focus on their writing while effectively managing the business aspects of book publishing.
