About ShipMyBook
One controlled release for the book you have finished.
ShipMyBook is independent publishing software for authors and book professionals who need to turn an approved manuscript into a coherent set of files without losing track of the final version.
✓Built around finished manuscripts✓Browser-first free checks✓Human review where automation is unsafe
Why ShipMyBook exists
Authors often finish the writing and then inherit a fragmented production job: one formatter, a separate cover file, an EPUB validator, metadata spreadsheets, store copy, and a folder full of near-identical exports. The expensive mistakes happen when those pieces stop referring to the same manuscript version.
ShipMyBook starts with the file an author actually intends to publish. Free tools expose structural, package, cover, and upload-message risks. A paid release keeps the approved source, deliverables, checks, and re-export window connected to one project.
What we promise—and what we do not
We promise a clear scope, visible project status, private source storage, and outputs tied to an identified manuscript version. During the pilot, paid releases receive human quality review before delivery. Complex children's books, textbooks, and image-heavy layouts are quoted as assisted work rather than presented as automatic.
We do not promise sales, rankings, a particular review date, or acceptance by Amazon or another distributor. The platform owner makes the final publishing decision. ShipMyBook is independent and is not affiliated with Amazon or KDP.
Who the service is for
The first product is for independent authors with a text-led manuscript and a real publication deadline. Professional workspaces extend the same release discipline to editors, book coaches, designers, and formatters managing client approvals. Blog-to-eBook and lead-magnet pilots apply the workflow to consultants and course creators who already own useful source material.
Questions, privacy requests, and assisted-project enquiries go to contact@shipmybook.com. Do not send manuscripts through ordinary email; approved projects receive a private upload workspace.
Start with the file, not a sales call.
Run a browser-only preflight first. Create a paid workspace only when you are ready to lock the source version.
