Bookformatready.com is a pre-publishing checklist built for self-published authors who want one more honest look before hitting 'publish.' It walks through manuscript quality, formatting, cover specs, metadata, and legal/distribution setup — the categories that most commonly trip up a first-time or even fifth-time indie author.
We built this after seeing how many avoidable publishing mistakes come down to the same handful of overlooked steps: missing copyright pages, inconsistent trim sizes, metadata that doesn't match retailer requirements. A checklist doesn't replace an editor, but it catches what a rushed final pass misses.
Part of the IndieOwner family of free author tools from Officina Systems — built to make self-publishing a little less of a minefield.
