Trim Size

Trim size is the finished width and height of your paperback. Select your preference, or request a recommendation after manuscript review. Final specifications are subject to manuscript assessment and KDP requirements.

Ink and Paper Type

Your selected trim size, ink, and paper must meet Amazon KDP’s requirements, including the final printed-page count. Standard color interiors require 72–600 pages and are not available at 8.27 × 11.69 inches. Page-count limits for other ink-and-paper options vary by trim size. If your selections do not meet KDP’s requirements, they may need to be adjusted during the publishing process. The Strategy Architect Consulting will contact you to explain the restriction, discuss the available options, and obtain your approval before your book is submitted with revised specifications.

Identify any existing questions, chapters, or sections needing writing space and any preferred amount of space.

Target Publication Date

Leave blank if you have not selected a target date.

This is a requested target publication date, not a guaranteed release date. The estimated timeline will be established and updated using the information gathered during enrollment and manuscript assessment, the work required, manuscript readiness, revisions, client response and approval times, current production workload, weekends, holidays, KDP account readiness, and Amazon KDP review and processing times. Your estimated publication date may change as the project progresses, and updated estimates will be communicated to you. KDP submission and live publication are separate milestones. The Strategy Architect Consulting does not control Amazon KDP approval or the date your book becomes available for purchase.

Manuscript Editing & Interior Formatting

This standalone service prepares the inside of your book while you handle the publishing. Your manuscript receives a light editorial review and professional paperback interior formatting, with your voice, tone, and intended meaning preserved.

What’s Included
One light editorial pass: Corrections to grammar, spelling, punctuation, and obvious inconsistencies.

Paperback interior formatting: Consistent fonts, spacing, chapter headings, margins, page numbering, and placement of author-supplied front and back matter in one agreed book size.

Final interior files: Your edited Word manuscript and a print-ready interior PDF prepared for the agreed Amazon KDP paperback specifications.

Final review and corrections: A post-formatting quality check and one consolidated round of minor author corrections. New content, substantial revisions, and layout changes are not included.

Manuscript Requirements
Available for completed, text-based manuscripts up to 15,000 words, submitted in an editable Word document. Manuscript review is required to confirm eligibility. Longer manuscripts or work requiring more extensive editing will need a separate quote.

Not Included
This is not a full publishing service. Cover design or adjustments, KDP account setup or uploading, ISBN services, publication management, eBook conversion, and hardcover preparation are not included. Developmental editing, ghostwriting, chapter restructuring, and complex illustrated or workbook layouts are also excluded. You can add the cover as an add on for $75.00

You are responsible for uploading and publishing your book and arranging any cover-sizing adjustments needed after the interior is finalized.
