Three ways to start your book.
However you begin, your ideas, your words and your creative direction stay at the centre. You review and approve every part of the book before it is prepared for KDP.
Route 1 · KDP Ready tools
Develop a book idea
Define your reader, your book's purpose and its structure with guided prompts — then plan your chapters. You write the content; nothing writes it for you.
Start with an ideaRoute 2 · Speak your book
Speak your book
Find writing hard but have a book in you? Record your ideas chapter by chapter, edit the transcript, and approve every section before it joins the manuscript.

What happens next
- Using the tools yourself: create a free account, and your book projects are saved so you can return to them at any time.
- Asking for support: send an enquiry with your name, email and a short description of your book. We reply by email to confirm your brief before any work starts.
- For a bespoke book, you agree the brief, package and price with us before anything is made — nothing is created to spec without your approval.
- You can also apply to publish with Living Well Books, or send a general enquiry.
