Kindle Direct Publishing rejected my manuscript, how can I fix the issues?

If Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) rejected your manuscript, start by carefully reviewing the rejection email, as Amazon usually identifies the specific issue.

Common reasons include formatting errors, poor image quality, copyright concerns, misleading metadata, excessive spelling or grammar mistakes, or content that violates KDP publishing guidelines.

Check that your manuscript matches KDP's formatting requirements, including page size, margins, fonts, table of contents, and image resolution.

If you uploaded a PDF or EPUB file, use Kindle Previewer to identify layout problems that may affect the reading experience.

If the rejection relates to content or rights, ensure that you own or have permission to use all text, images, and other materials in the book.

Update any inaccurate title, subtitle, author, keyword, or category information that could be considered misleading.

After correcting the identified issues, upload a revised manuscript and resubmit it for review.

If the rejection notice is unclear, file your complaint on Xolvie to bring attention to the issue.
