F.A.Q.

Which publishing platform should I choose?
It depends on your goals. KDP is simple and Amazon-focused. IngramSpark supports wide print distribution. Draft2Digital works well for wide ebooks. I can help you choose.

​

Should I purchase my own ISBN?
Free ISBNs are fine for most authors. Purchasing your own ISBN offers greater control and publisher ownership.

​

Why would I need a Library of Congress number?
It helps libraries catalog your book. It’s optional and not copyright protection.

​

Should I copyright my work?
Copyright exists automatically, but registration provides additional legal protection. Assistance is available.

​

White paper vs cream paper?
White is common for nonfiction. Cream is easier on the eyes and popular for fiction.

​

What trim size should I choose?
Trim size depends on genre, page count, and platform. I’ll help you choose.

​

Matte or glossy cover?
Matte is soft and elegant. Glossy enhances color vibrancy.

​

What is a duplex cover?
A duplex cover has a different printed material on the inside of the cover. Available on select platforms like IngramSpark.

​

Do you use AI?
Some projects may incorporate AI-assisted concept generation as part of the creative workflow. AI is used strictly as a tool for ideation and composition support. Final designs are never automated and always involve significant human refinement, editing, and original design work.
