Publishing choices for serious indie authors without giving your book away.
Publishing Choices
Publishing choices with KPFTV Editions
Different authors need different levels of support.
KPFTV’s “Published for you. By you.” model offers a few clear paths – from light-touch guidance to deep, hands-on collaboration –
while you remain the publisher of record.
No mystery packages. No fine print traps. These paths are starting points. We adapt them to your book, your goals, and your budget – or we tell you honestly if we’re not the right fit.
For authors in Romance, Romantic Thrillers, Fantasy, Crime, Non-Fiction and related genres – English-first, worldwide.
Publishing paths with KPFTV
Three ways to work with us – all under your control.
We don’t sell rigid packages that look good in a brochure but don’t fit your situation.
Instead, we start from three simple paths and then adjust the details once we’ve seen your project.
The core principles behind each path are explained on Opportunity for Discovery and Excellence in Design.
Path One
Essentials – Guided Self-Publishing
You keep most of the work in your own hands. We help you avoid the big mistakes.
Strategy call & positioning feedback.
Cover direction & review (or light redesign).
Metadata & category guidance for Amazon.
Checklist for launch and first promotions.
Path Two
Co-Pilot – We Build It With You
We work alongside you to shape the book and its launch, step by step.
Editorial review (structure, pacing, clarity).
Custom KU-optimized cover design.
Interior layout & files ready for KDP.
Hands-on support with Amazon setup & pricing.
Path Three
Studio – Limited, Deep Collaboration
For a small number of titles per year where we see real potential and commit more time.
Concept and series planning sessions.
Multiple editorial passes, including structure.
Brand-consistent covers & series look.
Launch roadmap for the first 6–12 months.
Important: These paths are not “bronze/silver/gold packages”.
Some authors may only need Essentials; others may grow from Essentials into Co-Pilot or Studio over time.
If you want the exact feature breakdown, use the Publishing Comparison Chart.
Service areas we can cover
Pick what you actually need – and nothing else.
Instead of a giant menu of add-ons, we focus on a small number of high-impact areas.
If you want the deeper, “what we do that others don’t” angle, see Unique Services and the details under Premium Editing & Cover Design.
Editorial
Clarity, structure & reader grip
From diagnostic reads (“What’s working, what isn’t?”) to deeper structural guidance,
we focus on how the book reads in the real world – not just line edits.
Covers & branding
Covers built for Amazon & KU
Genre-appropriate covers with strong thumbnail impact, tuned for Kindle Unlimited and mobile devices,
with a series look if you plan more than one book.
See Excellence in Design.
Formats & files
From manuscript to upload-ready
Clean, professional files for KDP: ebook and paperback, correct trim size, margins, and layout that won’t embarrass you.
Metadata
Categories, keywords & pricing
Positioning your book where its readers look:
categories that make sense, keywords that match intent, and pricing that fits your genre and market.
See Opportunity for Discovery.
Launch planning
First 90–180 days
A realistic launch timeline, from cover reveal to first promos and reviews –
tailored to how much time and energy you can actually invest.
Long-term view
Series & author brand
If you’re thinking beyond one book, we help you connect the dots:
series planning, author branding, and where your next titles should go.
What stays yours – and where we step in
Clear lines. No confusion about rights.
“Published for you. By you.” means you remain the publisher of record.
We don’t hide that fact behind branding or vague contract language.
If you want to start immediately, use Manuscript Submission.
What stays 100% yours: Your manuscript and core rights, your author brand, your KDP (or other platform) account,
and your direct relationship with readers and newsletter subscribers.
Where KPFTV steps in: Strategy, design, structure, metadata, and the technical and tactical work needed to get your book
from a Word file to a professional publication with a plan.
We will always be explicit about: who owns what, how fees or revenue shares work, what happens if we stop working together,
and which assets you can keep using (hint: in most cases, all of them).
For a full service overview, see Premium Services.
How to choose your path
A quick way to see where you fit.
The fastest way to choose is to look at your manuscript status and how much help you actually want.
If you prefer a clean feature matrix, open the Comparison Chart.
If you mostly want guidance and a second pair of eyes, Essentials is likely enough.
If you want us to actively build the book with you, Co-Pilot is the natural fit – especially for relaunches.
If you’re planning a body of work and want a creative partner, Studio may be an option – limited slots per year.
You don’t have to decide now.
The next step can be a free video consult via the form below — or a direct submission if you’re ready.
