Choose the delivery target, then inspect the source
The standard $39 release includes both a reflowable EPUB and print interior PDF. Your choice sets the first proofing priority; it does not remove the other file.

EPUB + print PDF + release checks
Complex visual files move to the $99 assisted review only after scope confirmation.

What the fixed-price release includes
The $39 route is for a finished, text-led title with a stable source file. The deliverable scope is an EPUB, a print interior PDF, a cover-dimension and metadata check, Amazon listing copy, an author bio, a sample page, launch assets, and re-export access for the same title for 60 days.
The file you approve becomes the release version. If you replace the manuscript, the workspace creates a new numbered source instead of quietly mixing an old cover or description with new interior pages.
- One title and one approved source version
- Defined digital deliverables before checkout
- Browser preflight before payment
- Human quality review during the service pilot
When the $99 assisted path is the honest choice
Children's books, textbooks, workbooks, poetry with intentional spacing, tables, footnotes, and image-led interiors need visual judgment. ShipMyBook does not force those files through a text-only converter. The assisted path confirms scope before production and can decline a file that needs specialist illustration or accessibility work.
Amazon, IngramSpark, and other platforms control their own acceptance. Formatting reduces preventable file problems; it cannot guarantee approval, sales, rankings, or a review date.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does book formatting cost?
A finished text-led title is $39 per book. A complex visual title begins with the $99 assisted layout route. Annual workspaces cost $169 for five active books or $399 for twenty client books.
Can I inspect my manuscript before paying?
Yes. The DOCX structure scan and three-page proof run in your browser before checkout.
Do you charge by word or page?
No. The standard product is priced per eligible title, with a separate assisted route when layout complexity changes the work.
