How AuthorBind Works

1. Upload your .docx

The file is read on your computer, inside your browser. It's never uploaded.

2. The check

You see the chapters we found and everything that will change or be left out: lines that look like headings, manual page breaks, headers and footers, blank lines, tracked changes, text boxes, footnotes, images and tables.

3. Set up the book

Title, author, trim size, paper color and design. The inside margin is worked out from the page count.

4. Build the EPUB and the PDF

A book engine runs in your browser and lays out the pages. The EPUB is usually ready first. The engine downloads once.

5. What reaches our server

Only anonymous events, such as "a check finished" with yes-or-no flags for footnotes, images and suspect headings, and your email address if you ask to be notified about paid plans. Your manuscript, title, file name and word counts are never sent. When paid plans open, a license key will be sent to activate them.

Next: upload the PDF to KDP and check every page in Print Previewer. KDP makes the final decision.
