Writing and Publishing Support for Kobo Authors
Publishing independently gives authors greater control over their books, but it also requires careful preparation. Your manuscript needs to be well written, consistently edited, correctly formatted, and supported by accurate book information.
Our services help you address these requirements before moving towards publication. We work with you to understand your writing goals, identify areas that need attention, and develop a clear plan for completing your book.
Kobo Writing Life is Kobo's self-publishing portal for authors and publishers who want to distribute eligible digital books. Kobo supports eBooks and audiobooks, rather than paperback or hardcover print-on-demand publishing. Authors can manage their publishing information, upload content, and prepare titles for distribution through the platform, subject to its requirements.
A promising idea needs a clear direction before it becomes a finished manuscript. Our book development services help you organise your thoughts, establish a logical structure, and create content that suits your intended audience.
We adapt the work to your existing material, whether you need help planning an entire book or improving selected sections.
A completed draft is not necessarily a publication-ready manuscript. Editing helps identify weaknesses that may affect the reader's experience, while proofreading catches remaining language and presentation errors.
Our editing support can include developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. We clarify the difference between these stages so you know whether your book needs structural changes, sentence-level refinement, technical corrections, or a final quality check.
Digital books need a structure that works well across supported reading devices and applications. We help prepare manuscripts with appropriate chapter headings, paragraph styles, navigation, front matter, and consistent formatting.
Our Kobo preparation support may include reviewing the document structure, checking the suitability of the content file, identifying formatting inconsistencies, and preparing files according to the agreed scope.
