Professional Book Editing, Formatting & Cover Design ready for Amazon publishing

Description:

I’m looking for an experienced book editor and designer to transform my completed manuscript (120+ pages) into a fully polished, publication-ready book for Amazon (KDP). Should be mirrored after the SAT, LSAT and MCAT books (official guidebooks).

This is NOT just basic proofreading — I need a professional, end-to-end finish that meets commercial publishing standards.

• Ensure compliance with Amazon KDP requirements

1. Cover Design (Based on Existing Mockup):

• I already have a rough cover concept/mockup (based on SAT book)
• You will redesign it to look fully professional and market-ready
• Front, spine, and back cover (paperback)
• Optimized for Amazon standards and high conversion

Deliverables:

• Final edited manuscript (Word + PDF)
