When you add the publishing upgrade

Understand how your book reaches online stores.

This page explains what happens with the optional publishing upgrade. It is not KDP consulting or a file-rescue service.

The production details

Understand the part this service plays in a complete book.

01

Your account is the default

When we publish for you, the usual path is your own publishing account. The account stays yours, the listing stays yours, and you control it under the platform’s rules.

02

Our-account publishing is an alternative

If you would rather not set up an account, we can publish through ours. You still own your book and content, while the account and retail listing remain under our control.

03

ISBN, metadata, and categories

Publishing work may include the practical setup around identifiers, book information, category selection, pen names, proofing, and author copies.

04

Start with the book

The publishing upgrade follows a complete book. The base service is a finished ebook (PDF) you can use and share, not a retail listing.

A 20 Minute Read is a complete focused book—not a stripped-down traditional manuscript. Start with the knowledge you already have.
