Crea Editores provides publishing assistance for authors releasing books on Amazon KDP as independent authors — bilingual self-publishing services for independent authors in the U.S. and Mexico. The service may include copyediting, cover design, book formatting, file preparation, metadata and publishing assistance across Kindle, paperback and hardcover. The author keeps control of the work, the rights and the royalties.
What Amazon KDP is
KDP stands for Kindle Direct Publishing, Amazon's platform for publishing and selling books on Kindle and in print through print on demand. The author lists the book, sets price and marketplaces, and Amazon prints each copy when someone buys it. No print run, no inventory, no publishing contract.

Who it works for
A good fit if
- Your manuscript is finished or nearly finished.
- You want to keep your rights and royalties.
- You want to sell in several countries from day one.
- The book supports your professional practice or brand.
- You would rather decide cover, title and price yourself.
Worth a second look if
- Your main goal is front-table placement in physical bookstores.
- You need an advance to fund the writing.
- The draft is half-written — developmental editing comes first.
- The book depends on third-party rights that are unresolved.

What the assistance includes
Copyediting and proofreading
Line editing, proofreading and, where needed, developmental editing on the book's structure.
Cover and back cover
Front cover, spine and back cover built to the exact trim size and final page count.
Book formatting
Typography, margins, running heads, bleed and a file that meets print-on-demand specifications.
Title, description and keywords
Sales description, seven keyword fields and categories chosen deliberately, not at random.
ISBN
We explain when the Amazon-assigned identifier is enough and when your own ISBN is worth buying, and handle the process if you need it.
Upload and proofs
File upload, previewer review, printed proof copy and final approval.
Per-region pricing
Marketplace pricing set up and margins reviewed against print cost.
Launch follow-up
Author page, description and category adjustments, and a review of the first weeks of sales.
How we work
Material review
We read your manuscript or proposal and tell you plainly what it needs before publication.
Written scope and schedule
Services included, number of revision rounds and dates. No surprises mid-project.
Editorial production
Editing, design and formatting in the right order: text closes before formatting, and the cover spine is calculated from the final page count.
Product page preparation
Description, categories, keywords and per-marketplace pricing.
Publication in your account
We work inside the author's KDP account. Sales data and payments come straight to you.
Proof and approval
Nothing is approved without reviewing a physical proof or the complete digital proof.
Rights, royalties and your account
- The rights to the work are and remain the author's.
- Royalties are paid by Amazon directly to the author's account.
- Publication happens in the author's own KDP account wherever possible.
- Crea Editores does not act as an imprint and retains no rights over the work.
Royalty rates, printing costs and available marketplaces are defined by Amazon and change over time. Check current terms in the official Amazon KDP help pages.
International markets and bilingual authors
From a single account, a KDP title can be listed across Amazon marketplaces in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania, each with its own price. For bilingual authors that means reaching readers in the United States, Mexico, Spain and Latin America without country-by-country distribution deals — and publishing the same book in English and Spanish as two properly localised editions rather than one compromise.

Frequently asked questions
Is Crea Editores a traditional publisher?
No. We support authors publishing as independents on Amazon KDP. There is no rights assignment and no acquisitions committee.
Can I use my own Amazon KDP account?
Yes, and we recommend it. We work inside your account so control, sales reports and payments stay in your name.
Who receives the royalties?
The author. Amazon pays directly to the bank account registered in KDP.
Do I need an ISBN to publish on KDP?
No. Amazon assigns an identifier to print books and an ASIN to eBooks. Your own ISBN matters if you want distribution beyond Amazon or want to be the publisher of record.
Do you publish hardcover and eBook as well as paperback?
Yes. We prepare all three; each needs its own files and a different cover calculation.
Do you work with authors in the United States?
Yes. We work with authors across the U.S. and Mexico and publish in English and Spanish.
Can you publish the same book in English and Spanish?
Yes. Each language is set up as its own edition with adapted cover, localised metadata and its own product page.
Do you guarantee sales?
No. Nobody can guarantee that honestly. We work on what is controllable: editorial quality, cover, metadata and a correctly configured listing.
