What this service actually does

Most publishing problems are not dramatic. A book goes live in the wrong category, with a description that does not format properly, and keywords nobody searches. It sells nothing, and the author concludes the book is the problem.

We set your Amazon KDP listing up properly: files that pass review, a description formatted to display correctly, categories chosen for reachable rankings, and keywords based on what readers actually search.

Right for you if…

  • You have finished files and want them published correctly
  • You have published before and the listing is underperforming
  • You would rather not learn Amazon KDP's interface yourself

Questions

Amazon KDP Publishing questions

The things authors ask us most about this service.

Do I keep control of my Amazon account and royalties?

Always. The book is published on your own Amazon KDP account, in your name. Royalties are paid directly to you by Amazon. We never hold your account, your rights or your money.

Are you affiliated with Amazon?

No. Marlowe is an independent agency. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Amazon or Kindle Direct Publishing. Amazon KDP is simply the platform we publish to.

Do you publish anywhere other than Amazon?

No. We specialise in Amazon KDP and only Amazon KDP. Doing one platform properly is more useful to you than doing several superficially.

What if my files are not ready?

Order formatting and cover design first, then KDP publishing as a separate order once your files are final. Each service is ordered on its own, so you are never paying for work before you need it.

How long until my book is live?

Our work takes 4–10 business days depending on package. After we submit, Amazon's own review typically takes 24–72 hours, which is outside our control.
