Guide title
Arranging a KDP paperback interior: what Amazon's front, body and back matter page says
Coverage
For self-publishers laying out a paperback manuscript for Amazon KDP. It summarises the help page's rules on page order, right-facing pages, headers, page numbers and the index, as captured on 2026-11-05. Documentation only: nothing was uploaded, and the vendor page can change.
Useful starting points
- The page says the title page leaves out the word 'by' before the author name even if the manuscript has it.
- Per the page, the running header carries the author's name on left-hand pages and the title of the book on right-hand pages.
- Chapter title pages carry no page headers, and the first paragraph of a chapter has no first-line indent.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
