Your ebook and paperback, ready for every store
An A4 Word file, double-spaced, ≈ 1.8 pages of a 5.5×8.5 in book.

7-day guarantee: if you're not happy with the result, we refund you.
Upload your Word as-is —with its images, tables and chapters. The AI understands your book's structure and shapes it: typography, margins, table of contents and covers. You get a print interior and an ePub, validated and ready to upload.
No templates, no quotes, and no need to know a thing about layout.
Because it isn't necessary. Book formatting is usually quoted by email because the price depends on things you can only see by opening the file: how much correction it needs, what format it is in, how much manual work it takes. None of those variables exist here. The rate is per page, the same for everyone, and the only adjustments are the book type and the €15 minimum. That is solved with a fixed formula, not with an assessment. The examples table below shows the whole thing: you can do the maths yourself and get exactly what the calculator gives you.
| Service | Price | Time to know the price | KDP validation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual formatter | €250 – €450 | Days (quote by email) | Manual, done by the formatter |
| Template or formatting app Reedsy Book Editor, Vellum, Atticus | €0 – €250 free or one-off payment | Immediate, but you do the formatting | No — you check every requirement yourself |
| Gutter | from €15 | Instantly, on this page | Yes, automatic before you download |
The middle option is cheap and immediate, but the work is still yours: you pick the margins based on the thickness of the book, you check the DPI of the images, and you find out about the mistakes when Amazon sends the file back. That is the difference between a tool that lets you format and one that formats and validates.
| Book | Calculation | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Novel, 120 pages | max(15, 120×0.15) | €18 |
| Novel, 225 pages | 225 × 0.15 | €34 |
| Novel, 350 pages | 350 × 0.15 | €53 |
| Poetry, 90 pages | max(15, 90×0.15×1.3) | €18 |
| Thesis, 250 pages | 250 × 0.15 × 1.25 | €47 |
All prices include the ePub for Kindle, at no extra cost.
From €15, at a base rate of €0.15 per page. A 225-page book averages €34.
A manual formatter charges €250-450 and takes days to quote. Gutter automates and validates instantly.
A print-ready interior PDF for the printer and for KDP, and an ePub that comes out clean, with no cleanup steps afterwards, included free in the same payment.
If KDP flags something related to the layout, it is reprocessed free until it validates.
Yes. You upload your Word for free, see the full layout with a watermark and can ask for as many changes as you want by chatting with the AI. You only pay to download the clean version.
The editing chat stays available after you pay, with a generous allowance of edits included in the price of the book. If you run out, the chat offers you an optional paid top-up with additional edits. Only changes that actually modify the layout count: questions and clarifications do not use up an edit.
Yes, always included in the same payment, at no extra cost.
The base rate is the same; poetry and theses carry a surcharge (a ×1.3 and ×1.25 multiplier respectively) because their layout has more specific rules (poetry: line-break control; theses: academic standards). An illustrated book carries no multiplier, but it does add €0.15 per page for image handling. The calculator above already applies all of these adjustments.
