3 Common Mistakes Authors Make on KDP (and How to Fix Them) Publishing a book is easier than ever, but making it look professional is where most authors hit a roadblock. I’ve seen talented writers lose readers not because their story wasn’t strong, but because of simple design mistakes. Mistake 1: DIY Covers. A cover is much more than just decoration. It’s a crucial sales tool. Readers often judge a book by its cover, and poor fonts, clashing colors, or generic templates can shout "amateur." 👉 Solution: Invest in a cover design that stands out and looks like it belongs on a bookstore shelf. Mistake 2: Messy Formatting Nothing kills a reading experience faster than poor formatting. Bad spacing, broken paragraphs, or inconsistent fonts. It makes readers stop, no matter how great your story is. 👉 Solution: Use tools like Adobe InDesign or Vellum to ensure your formatting flows smoothly and looks professional. Mistake 3: Ignoring Branding. Your book is more than just a one-time product; it’s part of your author brand. Without consistency in your covers, fonts, and overall style, you risk losing recognition and trust from your readers. 👉 Solution: Treat your book as part of a bigger business. Consistency in design helps you build trust and loyal fans. Final Thought: A book isn’t just about the words; it’s about how you present it. Write with passion, but publish with a solid strategy. 📌 Need help with book design? I assist authors with covers, formatting, and creating books readers love. Find me on Upwork → @mahirshariare
