Description
KDP Magic is an online service designed for self-published authors and independent publishers, including those focusing on low-content works, as well as self-publishing coaches and publishing teams. It offers AI-powered tools that assist in the creation and editing of cover artwork for various formats, such as ebooks, paperbacks, hardcovers, and audiobooks, while also ensuring the print covers are properly formatted with essential specifications like trim, bleed, spine, and safe-zone settings tailored for platforms like Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and Barnes & Noble Press. Users can design full-wrap and square audiobook covers, generate 3D book mockups, resize artwork, and create promotional kits for social media, along with utilizing KDP calculators and other helpful publishing resources. A free tool is available for creating front covers, but an account is necessary to access spine and back-cover design features. With paid subscriptions, users gain additional credits and enhanced tools for their projects. Although KDP Magic excels in generating cover assets, it's important to note that it does not provide formatting services for complete manuscripts, focusing instead on the visual presentation of a book's cover. This specialization allows KDP Magic to cater specifically to the needs of authors and publishers looking to create eye-catching and professional-looking book designs.
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.
