How to create a printed coloring book

The drawing is yours. The factory puts it on paper pages.

Export from Canva, Procreate, or Illustrator a PDF with one page per leaf, sharp lines, 300 DPI. If strokes hit the edge, use bleed.

Path B re-frames that PDF for KDP or another POD. Interior stock is usually white, not novel cream.

Do it in the factory

If you still have any questions or suggestions, please send me a message. I am the creator of this tool. Initially, I built it for myself: I am a writer and an artist, and I needed something simple, fast, and affordable before I started generating income from my books or art. My mother ran a publishing house and I knew the fundamentals of this craft and what it means to assemble the layout of a book for print. This “formatting atelier” is meant to be simple: I made it for writers, artists, and anyone who needs to get their creation into print but has never done book formatting themselves before. So, if you run into any difficulties, please let me know: your feedback will help me improve the service. You are very welcome here! Send a message.
