Independent help with your own account
Cambridge Publishing Press is an independent service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of Amazon. Your KDP account is registered to you, your tax and payment details are yours, and you remain the publisher. Our role is to help you prepare everything that goes into that account and check it before you submit.
That covers the parts authors most often find confusing: matching the interior to the correct trim and bleed settings, writing a description that reads well on a product page, choosing categories that genuinely fit, researching keyword phrases readers might use, and weighing list price against printing cost. Then we review the online previewer with you, page by page.
What you gain with amazon kdp publishing assistance
We are an independent service that helps you prepare files and set up your book in your own Amazon KDP account, with careful metadata, keyword research and previewer checks before you publish.
Clearly independent
We are not part of Amazon and cannot influence reviews, rankings or approval decisions. What we offer is careful preparation, so your submission follows the platform's published requirements.
Considered metadata
Title, subtitle, series, contributors and description are written and entered consistently, avoiding common problems such as keyword stuffing in subtitles or mismatched author names across formats.
Research-led categories
We look at comparable titles and how readers search, then suggest categories and keyword phrases that describe your book accurately rather than chasing whatever looks least crowded.
Previewer checks
Before you submit, we go through the online previewer for margins, gutter, image quality, blank pages and cover alignment, and adjust the files if something needs fixing.
From first read to final file
You are kept informed at every stage, and nothing moves forward without your approval.
