Using your *edited Word Manuscripts & Vellum, Unicorn Cats Publishing Services can create ebook and print files for fiction, non-fiction, and poetry books. I will format your manuscript to upload to Amazon and other platforms. I will also provide you with digital files: ePub & PDF.
*Please note: If your manuscript is unedited, Unicorn Cats Publishing Services reserves the right to reject your manuscript.
Please create your Word Manuscript using the industry standards on Amazon for KDP & Print books. Please use Heading 1 in your manuscript for chapter titles. Also, use a page break to define the chapters. Please remove the Table of Contents from your edited Word Manuscript. If I reformat your manuscript, the price increases. Thank you.

Proofing your ePub
To view the Kindle version of your ebook, you will need to use Amazon’s Kindle Previewer utility, as this is the only way to preview your book with Amazon’s Enhanced Typesetting. To proof your Kindle ebook:
- Start Kindle Previewer and then press Open Book. Select Kindle E-Reader option.
- Select the Kindle ePub file generated by Vellum, then wait for Kindle Previewer to convert your file.
Once conversion is complete, Kindle Previewer will display how your book will appear on example Kindle devices.
Note: Always use the Kindle epub with Kindle Previewer, which is the same file you will upload to KDP. Kindle Previewer will display a warning if you open a mobi file.
Proofing Your Print Edition

For your print edition, you can use the Preview utility that comes with your Mac. You can typically open your PDF in Preview by just double-clicking it.
For Windows-based systems, view your print PDF through Adobe, or another program. You can view your print book on your Amazon Author Bookshelf when you are uploading it to Amazon.com.
