Ebook publishing
Ebooks that read cleanly on every screen
Readers notice broken chapter breaks, missing images and odd spacing immediately. We build ebooks that behave properly on phones, tablets and e-readers, then help you release them to the stores you choose.
- Reflowable EPUB built from your final manuscript
- Navigable table of contents and chapter structure
- Testing on common devices and reading apps
- Store metadata, keywords and categories
Let’s Get Started!
Overview
Why ebook preparation is its own discipline
A print layout and an ebook are fundamentally different. Print pages are fixed; ebook text reflows to fit each screen and each reader's font settings. A file exported directly from a word processor often carries hidden formatting that breaks on certain devices.
We build your ebook with clean, semantic structure, so headings, scene breaks, images and links behave predictably. Then we prepare the metadata each store needs and help you decide between publishing directly to retailers or through a distributor.

Questions about Ebook Publishing Services
Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us and we'll answer your questions directly.
Ask a questionCan you convert my existing print PDF into an ebook?
Usually yes, although working from the original manuscript file gives cleaner results. We will tell you which source file is best after a quick review.
Will my ebook look identical to the print version?
Not exactly, and it should not. Reflowable ebooks adapt to each reader's screen and settings. We preserve your book's style and structure while letting the text reflow naturally.
Can you add my ebook to stores other than Amazon?
Yes. We can prepare files and metadata for other retailers or for a distributor that delivers to multiple stores.
