A few jobs hold up a lot of finished books: checking the manuscript, the cover, the formatting and an ISBN. I can check your manuscript for errors and weak spots from $97 without rewriting a word, make your cover in every format from $67, format your book from $67, and publish it under my imprint with an ISBN and barcode for $29 per format. Already have a cover? I convert it for $20 a format. Covers and formatting have their own pages, and the ISBN and conversion orders are on this one.

From $97 by word count
AI software reads your whole manuscript and I check what it finds. The Proofread Report marks every spelling, grammar and consistency error as a comment in your own Word file. The Editorial Report explains where the book is weak and why. Neither one rewrites a word. Delivered within 3 business days of a complete order, with a 7-day money-back guarantee counted from delivery.
From $67 or $127 for every format
An AI-made cover built for your category and checked by me against the bestsellers in it.

First concept within 3 business days, with a 7-day money-back guarantee.

$29 per book format, one-time
Your book is published under my imprint, Urgesta AS. For each format (ebook, paperback, hardcover or audiobook) I register one ISBN-13 with Bowker and send you the ISBN, a barcode image file and the Bowker lookup link. You keep your copyright and 100% of your royalties, and you give Urgesta AS a non-exclusive licence to publish that edition under its imprint. You publish from your own KDP or IngramSpark account.
One ISBN for each book format, so a paperback, a hardcover and an ebook need three. Delivered within 2 business days of complete book details, with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
$20 per format, one-time
You send me your finished cover. I turn it into a print-ready wrap cover for a paperback or an audiobook square, with the artwork, barcode, back-cover blurb and spine text, and deliver each as a file. Paperback wrap, audiobook square: $20 each. A conversion takes 3 business days.

Publishing a paperback? Each print format's barcode needs its own ISBN, and the barcodes go on the covers: book covers or cover conversion.
The publisher name is Urgesta AS and it stays the publisher of record permanently. A registered ISBN cannot be cancelled or reused, and a refund does not remove the record. An honorific such as "Dr." cannot appear in the author name. See the questions below for the full limits. Read how much an ISBN costs and whether you need one.

Four jobs, in this order. Each is its own fixed-price order, and you can do one or all of them.
For a typical ebook and paperback up to 60,000 words, that is $127 for the formatting, $127 for the cover and $58 for the two ISBNs: $312 in all. That is the sum of the three prices, not a bundle.
For each format you get the registered ISBN-13, an ISBN barcode image file and the Bowker lookup link. I deliver within 2 business days of receiving complete book details. Bowker can then take a few days to update the global index that Amazon reads, so allow for that before you publish.
Each format of a book (ebook, paperback, hardcover, audiobook) has its own ISBN. A paperback, a hardcover and an ebook need three. In the checkout, tick every version you need.
Urgesta AS is my company and the publisher of record for the ISBN in Bowker's registry. The book is published under that imprint. You keep your copyright and 100% of your royalties, and you give Urgesta AS a non-exclusive licence to publish that edition under its imprint. You use your own KDP or IngramSpark account.
Bowker charges $125 for one ISBN and $295 for ten (prices checked 31-Oct-26). The free KDP ISBN can only be used through KDP and shows "Independently published" as the publisher. A free IngramSpark ISBN may show Indy Pub as the publisher and works only on IngramSpark. An ISBN registered by this service works on KDP and IngramSpark, and the publisher shows as Urgesta AS.
Urgesta AS stays the publisher of record for that ISBN permanently, and the ISBN cannot move to you or to another imprint. A new imprint means a new ISBN and a new edition. Once an ISBN is registered it cannot be cancelled or reused, and a refund does not remove the record. The publisher field in KDP must be typed exactly "Urgesta AS". An honorific such as "Dr." cannot appear in the author name on the Bowker record. If you publish with IngramSpark, send me your IngramSpark account number first so I can authorise it, and do not also use KDP Expanded Distribution for the same edition.
You land on a page with one short form for your book details, filled in once for all the versions you ordered. I register each ISBN with Bowker under Urgesta AS and email you the ISBNs, the barcodes and a copy of your details within 2 business days of your completed form. My ISBN upload guide shows where each number goes in KDP and IngramSpark.
Books that meet Amazon KDP's content guidelines and that you own the rights to. Anything else is refunded and declined.
Yes. The ISBN service has a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Your finished cover, as large a version as you have, because a Kindle-size image prints soft on a 6x9 wrap. I use it to build the print wrap for KDP or IngramSpark with the barcode, your back-cover blurb and the spine text, and the audiobook square if you want it.
Yes. Book formatting has a fixed price by word count and its own page, with sample pages and a checkout, at selfpublishingmadeeasynow.com/book-formatting/. I send you the EPUB, and with the print option the print-ready PDF, within 3 business days of your complete manuscript.
I check them, and I never rewrite them. Manuscript Review has two reports from $97: AI software reads your whole manuscript, I check what it finds, and you get every error marked in your own file or a written report on where the book is weak. You make every change yourself. See selfpublishingmadeeasynow.com/manuscript-review/.
Yes. I make AI covers, checked against your category, in every format: book covers, $127 for every format or $67 for the ebook front. See the book cover page at selfpublishingmadeeasynow.com/book-cover-design/.
