 What we cover

5 areas. Zero fluff.

Every session is tailored to where you are — but here's everything on the table.

The Publishing Landscape — KDP vs IngramSpark

Understand how each platform works, where your royalties come from, and which one is right for your goal before you start.

  • KDP vs IngramSpark — how to decide
  • How print and digital royalties are calculated

  • Trim sizes and page setup in Microsoft Word
  • Fonts, margins, headers, and page numbers
  • Exporting a print-ready PDF
  • Interior preflight — common errors and how to fix them

The cover is what sells your book. Learn the technical specs that trip everyone up — and how to get a passing preflight on your first try.

  • RGB vs CMYK — why it matters for print
  • Bleed, safe zone, and barcode placement
  • Free and low-cost tools (Canva Pro, KDP Cover Creator)
