Why Vellum?

Open any Amazon bestseller. They use Vellum.

Vellum is the gold standard for indie ebook formatting — used by top indie authors worldwide. The problem: it costs $250 and only runs on Mac.

MekarPad gives you the same professional Vellum output without buying the software. Your book looks like it came from a traditional publisher — because it did.

FAQ

Common questions

Why not just format in Word?

Open any Amazon bestseller — they don't use Word. Readers can tell the difference. Vellum produces typographically correct layouts (proper drop caps, chapter headers, font rendering, margins) that Word simply cannot replicate. Layout is your book's first impression.

Isn't $75 too cheap? Is the quality good?

Price is competitive because we're based in Indonesia — not because of lower quality. The output is identical Vellum files. Check the portfolio on Amazon and Apple Books before ordering. No need to take our word for it.

Is my manuscript safe?

Your files are not stored on any server after delivery. Once the project is complete, files are sent to you and deleted. MekarPad holds no rights and no access to your work after handover.

Why do I need W-8BEN setup?

Without a valid W-8BEN on file with Amazon KDP, the US automatically withholds 30% of your royalties from US sales. For a book earning $500/month, that's $150/month lost — compounding indefinitely. The Global Launch Setup includes this tax form at no extra cost.

Also available via Fiverr?

Yes. For global clients preferring escrow-protected payment, MekarPad is available on Fiverr. Search "MekarPad vellum formatting" or order directly here for faster turnaround.
