The standard book care plan is built for the author who publishes regularly. You have a series in progress, a few books across KDP and IngramSpark and a new release every few months. Every release means updates to the back matter of earlier books, uploads to more than one platform, price changes and a check that every file still passes. The standard plan turns that recurring work into a monthly routine handled by one specialist.

Overview
What a standard book care plan actually involves
It includes everything in the basic plan and then goes further. We make monthly file updates, re-upload to KDP, IngramSpark and other stores, revalidate your EPUB when rules change, refresh metadata every quarter and send a store health report. A fast turnaround means your promotion is not held up by a file change. Standard is the plan for authors who want their catalogue to be consistent and current without doing the work themselves.
A series author benefits most. When book four launches, books one to three receive an updated back matter page with the new title and link. Every platform carries the same version. You send a short list of changes, and we return the files, the uploads and a short summary.
The standard plan is a standard care plan for self-published authors with book file updates with fast turnaround and KDP and IngramSpark file updates monthly. Standard care plan pricing for authors is displayed before you subscribe.
Why it matters
Why a standard book care plan matters
Every release touches every earlier book
A new title means a new back matter page, a new link and often a new series number in each previous book, on every platform. The standard plan turns that recurring job into a monthly routine done by one specialist.
Several platforms mean several chances to fall out of step
KDP, IngramSpark and the ebook stores each take their own file and show their own listing. One person who uploads to all of them and confirms each result keeps your catalogue consistent.
You see the whole catalogue in one report
The monthly store health report shows every book on every platform in one table, so you can tell at a glance what is live, what is current and what needs your decision.
Standard book publishing care plan
Monthly care for series and wide authors
The standard plan is for authors who have a series or who sell through several platforms, since consistency matters more as a catalogue grows. We make monthly file updates, re-upload to every platform and keep a store health report that shows where each book stands.
Monthly book file updates for authors cover interior and cover files for each title, and a multi-platform book file re-upload service replaces files on KDP, IngramSpark and other stores together. An EPUB revalidation service monthly runs each ebook through the current validator, and a quarterly metadata refresh service keeps categories and keywords up to date.
Book file updates for series authors keep every title in line, and book update plan for KDP and IngramSpark work covers both platforms. Ongoing book formatting for series maintains the design across titles, and a book interior update service handles larger changes with fast turnaround within your plan's allowance.
- Monthly updates across a series
- Re-uploads to KDP, IngramSpark and other stores together
- EPUB revalidation and a quarterly metadata refresh
Choose the right plan
The first decision in a standard book care plan
The standard plan for a series author
A series with several books on more than one platform needs consistent back matter and regular uploads. The plan provides both, with a report that shows every book's status.
The standard plan for an author with a growing backlist
A backlist that earns steadily benefits from quarterly metadata refreshes and monthly updates. The plan keeps older titles competitive without constant attention.

What your standard book care plan covers, task by task
These are the decisions we make on every standard book care plan job, and the reason for each one.
Task
How we do it
Why it matters
Everything in the basic plan
Quarterly checks, small updates, a yearly health check and written summaries, exactly as in the basic plan.
Regular inspection is the base of every plan, and an active catalogue needs it as much as a quiet one.
Monthly file updates across the catalogue
Changes are made across every affected book each month, such as new back matter, links, bios and series numbers, and returned together.
Every book in the series carries the same current information, so readers can always find the next title.
Uploads to every platform you use
Revised files are uploaded to KDP, IngramSpark and ebook stores, using the right file for each, with acceptance confirmed on every platform.
Every store carries the same version, so the reader sees a consistent book wherever it is bought.
Revalidation when rules change
EPUB and print files are checked again whenever platform rules change, and any that now fail are corrected and re-uploaded.
It prevents sudden rejections and keeps older books on sale without interruption.
A quarterly metadata refresh
Descriptions, keywords, categories and prices are reviewed every quarter across the whole catalogue, with approved changes applied.
Frequent small refreshes improve discovery, keep older titles competitive and leave a record of what was tried.
A monthly store health report
A monthly table of every book and platform showing file version, validation status, listing accuracy and actions taken.
You get a clear view of the whole catalogue without logging in to any dashboard.

Client reviews
What authors say about our standard book publishing care plan
Verified reviews from authors who used our standard book publishing care plan service.
The world-building section of my website gives readers a proper introduction to my universe before they even open the first book. It is exactly what a fantasy series needs. Beautifully structured and genuinely immersive.
The website positions me as an authority in my field without feeling stiff or corporate. The testimonials section, media page, and book overview all build credibility effectively. Exactly what a nonfiction author needs.
The website feels faith-centred without being off-putting to first-time visitors. The devotional resource section, speaking ministry page, and book store all reflect the purpose of my work clearly and respectfully.
Good website design overall. The mobile experience is excellent. I requested a few content changes after delivery which were handled efficiently. My reader newsletter opt-ins have increased noticeably since launch.
My author website now functions as a complete lead generation platform. The speaking page, media kit, and book sales funnel all work together seamlessly. I have received four speaking enquiries in the first month.
My author website for children's books needed to be welcoming for both parents and young readers. The colourful, engaging design works perfectly for both audiences. My school visits enquiries have also increased.
The tone of the design perfectly matched the warmth and humour of my books. Readers feel welcomed from the first page. My engagement metrics improved significantly within the first two weeks of the new site going live.
Good website design that captures the right atmosphere for my genre. The book pages and series navigation work well. One imagery choice in the hero section was updated after my feedback. Final result is exactly right.
The website reflects the quality of my coaching work and the seriousness of my brand. The blog setup is easy to manage and the book landing page converts well. I am proud to share it with everyone I meet.
The website made my romance series feel like a real reader destination. The book pages, series tropes, and signup sections finally work together. Readers stay longer and my newsletter list grew significantly after launch.
The dark, atmospheric design matches the tone of my crime novels without feeling clichéd. New readers understand the genre and mood of my work immediately from the homepage. My ebook sales from website referrals increased by 60%.
The newsletter integration and reader magnet landing page were set up exactly right from day one. My opt-in rate from organic website visitors is consistently above 15%. The design and the copy flow work together seamlessly.
My website needed to reflect both the literary and the speculative elements of my work. The design found exactly the right tone. My publisher commented that it looked more professional than most traditionally published author sites.
My speaking and consulting enquiries increased noticeably after the website launched. The professional design and clear service pages communicate exactly what I offer. A worthwhile investment in my author business.
The romantic atmosphere of the cover design is exactly right for my readership. The colour temperature, the typography, and the visual composition all signal the genre clearly without being generic.
Good formatting work on my early reader book. The large font and generous spacing were applied correctly. One illustration needed repositioning in revisions but it was fixed quickly. Happy with the result.
My book blended speculative and literary elements that needed sensitive typographic treatment. Every unconventional element was handled with understanding and real precision. A genuinely impressive result.
The reflowable EPUB looks perfect on every device I tested — Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo. The clickable table of contents and chapter navigation work exactly as they should.
