Writing a book takes months, sometimes years, but getting it onto Amazon should not take nearly as long. The upload process is fiddly, the formatting rules are strict, and one small mistake can leave your finished book stuck in review for days or rejected outright. At Ireland Publishing House, we handle the whole process for you. We format your manuscript, design your cover, build your listing, and publish it properly on Amazon KDP in Ireland, while you keep full control of your rights and your royalties. You simply send us the manuscript, and we send back a finished, ready book.
Every book needs the same six things done well before it is ready for readers. Here is exactly what we handle for you.
We convert your manuscript into a clean file built for Kindle, with working chapter breaks, a table of contents, correct margins, and consistent formatting that displays the same way on phones, tablets, and Kindle devices.
Your cover is the first thing a reader notices, often as a tiny thumbnail on a phone screen. We design covers that work at that size, covering front, spine, and back, plus a Kindle edition.
This is the part most authors skip, often why a good book does not sell. We write a title, subtitle, and description that read well, plus categories and keywords matched to how readers actually search.
Kindle Direct Publishing in Ireland works slightly differently to the US or UK, with different tax forms and currency settings. We register your account correctly, so your royalty payments always arrive without delays or errors.
Alongside your ebook, we prepare a print-ready paperback file, since KDP in Ireland lets you publish both formats from one account. Copies print on demand as ordered, so there is no upfront stock to buy.
If your manuscript needs a final polish, our editing team works through it line by line, catching errors, awkward sentences, and rough patches, so your finished book reads as well as it looks on paper.
Over the years, we have seen the same handful of mistakes trip up authors who try to publish alone. Knowing about these in advance can save you a lot of frustration:
Uploading a manuscript with inconsistent fonts or spacing that looks fine on a laptop but breaks on a Kindle screen
Choosing a cover image that is not high enough resolution, which gets rejected or looks blurry once printed
Picking overly broad categories, such as general fiction, instead of the specific subcategories where readers are actually browsing
Writing a book description that reads like a summary for a school report rather than something that makes a reader want to buy
Setting a price without checking what similar books in the same category typically sell for
Forgetting to set up Author Central or a proper author page, which makes the listing look less trustworthy to browsing readers
Our Portfolio
A short look at real author projects with live Amazon links.
We work with all kinds of writers, including:
You do not need any technical knowledge to work with us. If you can write a book, we can handle the rest. We have worked with authors publishing their first short story collection right through to writers with several titles already live who simply want the technical side taken off their plate.
From Irish children’s book publishers in Ireland to academic and business titles, our editors and designers work comfortably across most genres and reading ages.
Not every publishing service is the same, and it is worth asking a few questions before you hire anyone for this kind of work, whether that is us or someone else:
Do you keep full ownership of your rights and your book? (You should. Walk away from anyone who asks for a cut of future royalties or rights to your work.)
Is pricing clear upfront, or does it change halfway through the project?
Will you see proofs of the cover and interior before anything goes live?
Does the service actually understand Amazon’s current formatting and category rules, or are they working from outdated information?
Can they explain what happens if Amazon rejects the book during review?
Do they offer any support after publishing, such as fixing a typo or updating a cover later on?
A good publishing partner should be able to answer all of these clearly and without hesitation.
Some authors think that once the manuscript is written, the hard part is over. In reality, a badly formatted book, a rushed cover, or a poorly written description can undo months of writing work. Here is why the details matter.
First impressions decide sales. Readers judge a cover in under a second. A cover that looks unfinished puts people off before they even read the blurb.
Formatting errors get books rejected. Amazon can reject or delay a book over things as small as inconsistent spacing or a broken table of contents.
Categories affect visibility. Choose the wrong categories and your book gets buried where the right readers will never find it.
Metadata affects search results. If your keywords do not match how readers actually search, your book stays invisible no matter how good it is.
A messy account setup can delay payments. Getting the Irish tax and banking details right the first time avoids weeks of back and forth with Amazon support.
Doing this properly the first time saves you from fixing it later, often after the book has already gone live and picked up its first reviews.
A clear route from the file on your laptop to a finished listing readers can actually find and buy.
You send us your finished manuscript, with any notes on style, genre, or cover ideas already in mind. If your book is not quite finished, that is fine too; we can advise on what still needs work.
We read carefully through your manuscript and check for anything that needs sorting before formatting begins, such as missing chapter breaks or inconsistent spacing. We then agree a realistic timeline with you before any real work starts.
Our team formats your manuscript for Kindle and, if you want a paperback, for print as well. At the same time, we design your cover based on your genre, your audience, and any preferences you have shared.
We send you clear proofs of the formatted manuscript and the finished cover before anything is submitted anywhere. You can ask for changes at this stage, and nothing goes live until you are fully happy with it.
We write your book description, choose your categories, and set your search keywords. If this is your first time publishing, we also help you set up your KDP account correctly, including the Irish tax and payment details.
Once everything is approved, we publish the book to your own account, so you always keep full access and control. We stay available afterwards for updates, corrections, or a new edition whenever you are ready for one.
Your manuscript, your rights, your royalties, your KDP account. We never ask for a share of anything.
From currency settings to tax forms, we understand what changes when you are publishing from Ireland rather than the UK or the US, which cuts down on the delays and rejections that catch out first-time self-publishers.
You will know what the project costs before we begin. No surprise add-ons halfway through.
Proofs of your cover and formatted manuscript are sent for your approval at every stage.
If you spot a typo two weeks after launch or want to release a second edition later, you can come back to us.

Every book is different, so we do not quote a flat price for every project. A short, simply formatted novel takes less work than a heavily illustrated non-fiction book with charts and tables, and a book that needs a full edit will cost more to prepare than one that arrives already polished.
Once we see your manuscript and hear what you need, we will give you a clear, upfront quote before any work begins, broken down so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden fees added later, and you will never be asked for more once the project is underway.
Send us your manuscript and we will come back with a clear plan, a realistic timeline, and an upfront quote.
Share your manuscript goals, ask a question, or book a call. We will help you understand the best next step for your eBook.
