ANTIWHELM PUBLISHING

You wrote the book
Now publish it

A simple guide to publishing your paperback on Amazon.
Amazon prints and ships each order. No inventory. No boxes in your garage.

Put your book in one file

  • Use Google Docs or Word. Save a backup.
  • Include: title page, copyright page, contents page, and chapters.

Open your Amazon publishing account

  • Go to kdp.amazon.com . Add bank and tax details. Verify your identity.
  • Create a paperback. Enter your title and author name.
  • Use 6 × 9 inches (most common), black-and-white pages, and cream paper.
  • Get a free ISBN, your book's ID number. KDP use only.

Get your ISBN first. Give it to AI for your book and cover.

Ask AI to format your book

  • Attach your book file to ChatGPT or Claude.
  • Tell AI your size, paper, and ISBN.
  • Ask for page numbers and a new page for each chapter.
  • Keep all your words. Get a print PDF and an editable copy.
  • Check every page. Ask AI to fix anything wrong. See my inside-page sample

Ask AI to make your cover

  • Attach your finished book PDF to AI with image and file tools.
  • Ask for one cover PDF: back, spine, and front together.
  • Give AI your title, author name, size, paper, ISBN, and the look you want.
  • Have AI count the pages and get Amazon's cover measurements.
  • Leave room for Amazon's barcode. See my cover sample

Upload, check, publish

  • Upload both PDFs. Match the book size and paper settings.
  • Add your description, search words, and categories. AI can help.
  • Confirm your publishing rights. Disclose AI-created writing or art. Formatting alone does not count.
  • Check Amazon's preview. Order a printed test copy.
  • Error? Show AI. Fix the file. Upload again.
  • Choose where to sell. Set your price. Review earnings. Submit.
  • Printing comes out of earnings. Printed test copies and shipping cost extra.
