Publish Your Book on Amazon KDP With Confidence

You wrote the book. Now comes the part that makes many authors stare blankly at the screen while Amazon KDP asks questions that sound suspiciously like a government form written by a committee of robots.

That is where we can help.

At Texas Birder Press, we assist independent authors with the process of preparing and publishing their completed books through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. Whether you need basic upload help or complete formatting, cover design, and launch support, we can help guide your manuscript from finished document to published book.

You keep control of your book, your Amazon KDP account, and your royalties. We simply help you get there.

What We Do Not Do

We believe authors should know exactly what they are paying for.

Texas Birder Press does not:

  • Take a percentage of your royalties
  • Require you to publish under our Amazon account
  • Promise bestseller status
  • Lock you into long-term contracts
  • Claim ownership of your book
  • Offer unlimited revisions

Your book remains your book.

Who This Service Is For

Our author services are a good fit for:

  • First-time authors
  • Retired professionals writing memoirs or family histories
  • Nature writers
  • Birders and outdoor writers
  • Local historians
  • Poets
  • Small business owners
  • Speakers, teachers, and workshop leaders
  • Anyone with a completed manuscript who needs help getting it published

If your book is written and you are ready to take the next step, we can help you navigate the publishing trail.
