Middle grade novel writer

kdpbook.io starts middle-grade novels at 5.5 × 8.5 in on black & white interior with cream paper. You can switch to 5 × 8 in, 5.25 × 8 in, 6 × 9 in; the layout and cover are recalculated for the new size.

Our middle-grade novel template runs 120–360 pages and defaults to 208. For this ink and trim, KDP accepts 24–776 pages. KDP counts every page, including front matter and blank pages, and rounds odd counts up to an even number.

At the default 208 pages, 5.5 × 8.5 in, black & white · cream paper, KDP's printing cost on Amazon.com is $3.50 per paperback copy, so the lowest list price KDP allows is $6.99.

The outline of the whole book is written first. Each chapter is then written with that outline and a recap of every chapter before it, and the writer is told to keep names, relationships, objects and what each character knows consistent. Read the draft anyway, and fix anything that slipped in the editor or with an AI rewrite.

Yes, for AI-generated content. KDP asks you to declare AI-generated text, images or translations when you publish or republish a book, even if you edited them substantially. Text kdpbook writes is AI-generated, while a manuscript you wrote yourself and import stays your own text. The cover art kdpbook paints, and any illustrations it paints inside the book, are AI-generated images. The export sheet pre-fills the answers from what was actually generated for your book.
