Who this course is for

People who want to publish coloring books, planners, journals, activity books or kids’ books on Amazon KDP, and who want to use AI tools without cutting corners on quality, rights or KDP’s rules.

What you will build

  • A tested niche with evidence, not a guess
  • An AI use statement that matches KDP’s definitions
  • An interior plan, a consistent illustration set and a correctly laid-out file
  • A cover brief tested at thumbnail size
  • Accurate metadata and a four-gate pre-publish check

How the course works

Each lesson has a diagram, copy-paste prompts, a worked example and a checklist. Where the course quotes KDP guidance, it links to the official page so you can read the current text.

What this course does not promise

It does not promise sales, ranking or income. Results depend on your niche, quality, price and luck, and KDP’s policies change. Treat the course as a way to avoid common mistakes and to build books you are proud to put your name on.

What you need

  • A KDP account, or the plan to create one
  • Claude or another writing assistant
  • An illustration tool if your format needs images, and its commercial-use terms
  • A layout tool that can export a PDF
  • Time to order a proof copy

Curriculum

Module 1: Foundations

  1. Pick a niche and test demand — Go from a long list of ideas to one niche you can serve well, using real listings as evidence. (8 min)
  2. KDP rules and AI disclosure — Understand the difference between AI-generated and AI-assisted content and what you must tell KDP. (7 min)

Module 2: Make the book

  1. Plan the interior with Claude — Design page types and templates first so the book is consistent, fast to build and useful to the reader. (9 min)
  2. Consistent illustrations — Create a style sheet and test batch so illustrations look like they belong in the same book. (9 min)
  3. Trim size, bleed and layout — Set trim size and margins correctly and size your cover with bleed using the official KDP templates. (8 min)

Module 3: Publish

  1. Title, keywords and description — Write accurate metadata that helps the right reader find and understand your book. (9 min)
  2. Cover and preview — Brief a cover that works at thumbnail size, then check how the book looks in the previewer. (8 min)
  3. Pre-publish QA and iteration — Run four gates before you submit, then collect feedback and improve the next edition. (8 min)
