Full Children's Book Production

I have a finished children’s story and I’m ready to turn it into a polished, publication-ready book. What I need is the complete production package:

• 10–20 vibrant, cartoon-style illustrations that match the tone and pacing of the story
• Interior layout and typography formatted for print, flowing naturally around the artwork
• A professionally designed cover (front, spine, back) that complements the interior style
• A print-ready PDF that meets common POD specifications (bleed, margins, colour profile, embedded fonts)
• A reflowable EPUB optimised for Kindle, validated and tested on standard Kindle Previewer settings

I will supply the manuscript, page count estimates, and any reference sketches once we start. Please work in industry-standard tools such as Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop for the art and InDesign (or an equivalent) for layout, then export to PDF/X-1a and EPUB 3. The final files should pass Amazon KDP’s pre-flight checks without modifications on my side.

Acceptance criteria
1. All illustrations delivered as layered source files plus flattened print versions at 300 dpi.
2. Interior PDF opens without font or image warnings in Adobe Acrobat pre-flight.
3. EPUB passes KindleGen validation and displays correctly in Kindle Previewer for phones, tablets, and e-ink devices.
4. Cover design sized to the trim and spine width we confirm together.

I’m eager to move quickly, so please outline your typical timeline for sketches, revisions, and final file delivery along with any questions you have about the story or technical specs.
