Amazon KDP isn’t “upload and pray.” It’s a system.

Authors spend months learning KDP only to launch to crickets. We bring the system, the team, and the data — so your book actually sells.

Doing it yourself

  • 3–6 months learning KDP formatting, BISAC codes, A+ Content
  • Cover designer on Fiverr that doesn’t convert clicks
  • Guessing at keywords & categories → buried at page 50
  • No launch plan, no reviews, no momentum
  • Manuscript rejected for trim, bleed, or margin errors
  • Stuck in “Draft” status for weeks

Trusted by business leaders, entrepreneurs & executives

From first-time authors to seasoned CEOs — our clients use their books to build authority, attract clients, and leave a lasting legacy.

I've been running my consulting firm for 14 years and always knew a book would elevate my positioning. Hawthorne made it real. The ghostwriter they matched me with understood my industry from day one. The final manuscript reads exactly like me — sharp, direct, and full of the frameworks I use with clients. Closed two six-figure engagements before the official launch.

I came in with a half-finished manuscript and no clear direction. The developmental editing process was transformative — they helped me restructure the entire argument without losing my voice. The book is now the anchor of my thought leadership strategy and has been picked up by three business podcasts. Worth every dollar.

Hawthorne handled my business memoir from outline to Amazon launch. The project manager kept everything on schedule and the ghostwriter captured 20 years of entrepreneurial lessons in a way that is genuinely engaging. It's already ranking in two categories on KDP and my speaking inquiries have tripled since launch.

As a business coach, credibility is everything. Publishing my book with Hawthorne gave me a tangible asset I can put in front of every prospective client. The team handled the cover, interior layout, ISBN, and KDP submission flawlessly. I didn't have to touch a single technical detail. Professional from start to finish.

My executive team had been suggesting I write a strategy book for years. Hawthorne turned that idea into a polished, published reality in under five months. The ghostwriter conducted thorough interviews, the editor tightened every chapter, and the cover design looked better than books I've seen from major publishers.

I used Hawthorne's book marketing and Amazon Ads service post-launch. The team built a proper campaign strategy, ran the ads, and optimised the metadata. Within six weeks we hit bestseller status in two categories. The visibility it created for my startup brand was unlike anything I'd achieved through traditional PR.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions authors ask most about this service.

Amazon KDP Publishing

Our KDP publishing service covers account setup (if needed), manuscript formatting to KDP specifications, cover file preparation, metadata writing (title, subtitle, description, keywords, categories), pricing strategy, and full upload. We monitor the listing through the review period and resolve any KDP flags at no additional charge.

Amazon pays royalties directly into your KDP account — we have no access to your royalties and take no percentage. You receive 70% royalties on eBooks priced $2.99–$9.99 and 35% outside that range. Paperback royalties vary by page count, trim, and distribution channel.

Yes. Your name is the sole author on the listing. You retain full copyright. We publish on your behalf as a service provider — the book belongs to you entirely.

Yes. Metadata optimisation — keyword research, category selection, and description copywriting — is included in all KDP publishing packages. Strong metadata is one of the most important factors in Amazon discoverability.

Amazon typically reviews and approves new titles within 24–72 hours of upload. We submit with a scheduled publication date to allow time for pre-order setup if desired.

KDP Print & Paperback

Yes. KDP Print uses offset and digital print-on-demand that meets bookstore quality standards. We format your interior and cover to KDP Print specifications and order a physical proof copy before approving the listing for sale.

KDP Print distributes to Amazon's own channels only. For bookstore and library distribution (IngramSpark), that is a separate service we provide alongside KDP to achieve wide retail coverage.

KDP Print supports 5×8, 5.5×8.5, and 6×9 trade paperback formats, plus several others. Cream and white interior paper are both available. We recommend the appropriate option for your genre and word count.

A 3-minute strategy call is the fastest way to find the right path. No obligation. NDA on request.
