Book Formatting FAQs

Everything you need to know about our book formatting services.

Read-through rate is the percentage of readers who finish one book and buy the next in your series. Higher read-through means more revenue. We analyze and improve this metric to maximize your series income.

Yes! Consistent series branding helps readers recognize your books instantly. We audit your covers to ensure visual cohesion while maintaining each book's unique appeal.

Once you have 3+ books in a series. Box sets attract new readers with price value and can rank separately from individual books, giving you more visibility on retailer charts.

We optimize back matter (teasers, links to the next book), ensure strong book endings that create anticipation, and strategically price Book 1 to drive series sales. We also review pacing between releases.

We perform a complete series audit to identify drop-off points, then implement strategies like re-releasing with new covers, running Book 1 promotions, or adjusting pricing to reinvigorate interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read-through rate is the percentage of readers who continue from one book to the next in your series. For example, if 100 people read book 1 and 60 read book 2, your read-through is 60%. Higher read-through means more revenue per reader acquired.

We optimize multiple factors: strategic pricing (often making book 1 free or discounted), compelling back matter that hooks readers, series branding consistency, cross-promotion between books, and email funnels that guide readers through your series.

Absolutely! Planning your series structure from the start leads to better read-through and more sustainable income. We help with release timing, pricing strategy, and building reader anticipation from book one.

We specialize in reviving backlist titles. This includes refreshed metadata, updated categories, strategic promotion campaigns, and sometimes new covers. Many authors see their backlist outperform new releases after optimization.

Most authors see improvement within 30-60 days of implementation. Read-through changes show quickly, while revenue improvements build over 2-3 months as the new funnel matures.

Yes! KU requires specific strategies for page reads and KENP optimization. We help you maximize both KU income and wider distribution depending on your goals.
