KDP Paperback Formatting: 250 Pages

I have a 250-page manuscript already laid out with text and images; it simply needs to meet Amazon KDP’s paperback requirements. The book will print in black and white at a 6 × 9-inch trim size. Your main job is to polish the interior layout so it passes KDP’s automated and human checks on the first submission.

Here’s what I still need:
• Consistent headers and footers across the full manuscript
• Correct margins and mirrored gutter, including a bleed setup where required
• An automatically generated, clickable table of contents
• Final press-ready PDF (and original working file—InDesign, Affinity Publisher, or Word) that matches KDP’s paperback specs

When you reply, please break down your pricing so I can see the cost for each of the above items individually; I like to understand exactly where the budget is going.

I’m also preparing four additional titles and produce several online media shows, so a smooth experience here could lead to ongoing, collaborative work in both book design and multimedia projects.

Let me know if you need any further information or sample pages to quote accurately.
