KDP Templates
KDP templates are readymade documents to use for your content at Amazon KDP. Kdpinterior provides cheap and sometimes free templates to make your content more exciting and eye-catching. Besides that, you can also design and format your KDP template by using the following steps.
INFORMATION — Using the Sample Documents as Examples of Formatting
STEP 1: Check out the book size you’d want to use for trimming.
STEP 2: Pick a fiction or nonfiction sample document to use as a starting point for your work.
STEP 3: Click the Send My Template please button
Click the “Send My Template please button” after entering the email address where you’d want your template sent. Your template download should just take a few minutes at most. Double-check your junk mail and other promotions folders if it takes a little longer.
Important Note: Please keep in mind that due to the nature of this tool, we can only provide you with one copy of each template for each trim size. If you’d like to use the same template for several volumes, be sure to create a duplicate and save it somewhere safe.
Where Can I Find Instructions on Changing These DOCX Documents to EPUB and PDF Formats?
There are a few things that you need to take care of first, such as converting your book to a PDF or ebook format before you submit it to Amazon KDP or any other online or offline shop that sells books and ebooks (for print).
Process of converting DOCX to EPUB format
Using a tool like Calibre is the most efficient method for converting a DOCX file to EPUB. Caliber is risk-free and facilitates easy conversions. In addition to that, it is an excellent tool for checking the EPUB file you have created to ensure there are no mistakes.
Making a PDF out of a DOCX
It’s far less work to transform your DOCX document into a PDF. If you go to the File tab in Word, you’ll see an option to Save as Adobe PDF on the left side of the screen. You may quickly and easily convert your file into a PDF format by clicking on that button. The last step is to double-check the PDF for any mistakes.
Important Notes Regarding the Formatting of These Formatting Templates
Since each FREE template was designed to be used with Microsoft Word, you’ll need a copy of Word to format your book the way Microsoft intended. We’ve made sample documents in the standard five trim sizes:
- 5 x 8
- 5.25 x 8
- 5.5 x 8.5
- 6 x 9
- 5.06 x 7.81
We have made separate versions of fiction and nonfiction books due to the minor differences in their formats.
How to make the most of your new style guide is discussed below.
- TRIM SIZE: The trim size has been specified. Select PAGE LAYOUT, then click on SIZE, then choose CUSTOM SIZE, and finally, enter the trim size you want to use. If you want your edits to take effect across the board, pick the WHOLE DOCUMENT from the menu. Then choose the OK button.
- Margin & Gutter: The margins and gutter for your document have been predetermined. In order to modify these settings, choose PAGE LAYOUT and then MARGINS. Use the drop-down option to apply your changes to the whole document by choosing WHOLE DOCUMENT. Simply choose the OK button.
- AUTHOR NAME: The author’s name should be printed in the upper right hand corner of every page starting with the book’s primary content, except the first page of each chapter. Right-click AUTHOR NAME, then choose Edit Header to add your name. Go ahead and fill up the AUTHOR NAME field with your name.
- THE TITLE OF THE BOOK: The book’s title will show at the top of the left page of the book’s main content (excluding chapter pages). To replace the default book title with your own, choose BOOK TITLE, right-click, and select Edit Header. In the BOOK TITLE field, please enter the title of the book you are writing.
- TABLE OF CONTENTS: Once you have finished putting in your book, right-click the table, choose Change FIELD, then click on UPDATE PAGE NUMBERS ONLY to update the Table of Contents. Simply choose the OK button.
- Drop Caps: When formatting a book, it’s preferable to put off tweaking the drop caps until after you’ve finished with the rest of the text. Just click the individual drop caps and drag them to where you want them. Simply selecting it with your mouse and dragging it to a new size will do the trick.
Maybe you’d like something simpler.
These templates should be straightforward to use, and we’ve made every effort to ensure that’s the case. However, book formatting using Word is complex at best, and there are simpler alternatives.
