Keep the preparation record
See what is approved, what is blocked, and what was delivered
Approved private versions
A new upload creates a version. It does not replace the current approval until you review and approve it. Keep manuscript and cover history with the edition.
Destination-specific review
Review metadata, rights, territories, pricing, exclusivity, and approved-file requirements. Changed information requires a fresh review. Readiness supports preparation, not guaranteed acceptance.
Package and receipt history
Prepare KDP ebook or supported print packages, Apple Books and Google Play Books ebook packages, or BookBub promotion applications. Record delivery and later outcomes separately from preparation activity.
Frontlist performs available technical checks. You still review content and provider previews, run current EPUBCheck before approving an EPUB, and use print proofs where applicable.
