From KDP to the High Street
You've built a catalogue on Amazon. We turn it into books that stand on real shelves — properly designed, correctly formatted for print, and listed with the UK's largest book wholesaler.
Bespoke, bookshop-ready covers built for print — not just a thumbnail.
Interiors and covers correctly templated, bled, and proofed for print.
Your title made discoverable and orderable by UK bookshops.
Three services. One outcome: your book, in bookshops.
We take the manuscript and files you already have on KDP and prepare everything needed to sell through print distribution — no reprinting your business from scratch.
Cover Design
Supply your own artwork or have us design it from scratch — either way, a cover built to compete on a shelf, not just a screen.
Print Formatting
Your interior and cover files rebuilt to IngramSpark's exact specifications, trim size, bleed and all.
Distribution Setup
Your title uploaded, priced, and listed so it's discoverable and orderable through Gardners and, in time, bookshops directly.
Built for writers who've outgrown KDP-only
Most independent writers start on Amazon KDP because it's simple. Dunross Press exists for the point after that — when you want your books taken seriously by bookshops, not just algorithms.
You might recognise yourself if…
- You already publish through KDP and have manuscripts ready to go
- You want a professional cover that works in print, not just as a thumbnail
- You'd like your titles orderable by real bookshops, not just Amazon
- You don't have the time or software to manage IngramSpark's templates yourself
What you keep
- You keep your manuscript rights and your KDP listings — this is an additional channel, not a replacement
- You keep control of pricing and approval at every stage
- You pay a small setup fee, then only a share of what actually sells
