Make a coloring book
Pick a theme, pick how hard the lines should be, name it. You get twenty-four line-art pages and a colour cover as files you can print tonight.
Doing this yourself means renting an image generator by the month, a few evenings learning to talk to it, and then a pile of pages a printer still will not take. Here you pay once, for one book. We draw all of it and build the print files, and the drawings are made for you alone — so the book can be listed on Amazon or Etsy the same evening. Nothing to cancel, nothing renews.
Someone else's order, drawn and done. Same file for everyone who buys it, so these are for printing at home — not for reselling.
Actual pages out of actual books — nothing here is a mock-up.

yours to keepA coloring book is not stock. There is no tenth copy to pay for and no hundredth to reprint — the file you get tonight is the same file that sells next spring, and nothing about it ever runs out.
They found it in a shop, liked the cover, bought it. You were asleep, or at work, or making dinner.
Two sales cover the $5.99 it cost to make. From here on the book owes you nothing.
No stock to buy, nothing to reprint, nothing to put in the post. One file, as many times as anyone wants it.
Prints and posts every copy for you, anywhere in the world. You upload once and never touch a parcel.
Sell it as a download. Nothing is printed, nothing is shipped — the file simply arrives.
For anyone who wants to check the sums: on KDP a book listed at $9.99 pays a 60% royalty of $5.99, less about $1.60 of printing — roughly $4.40 a copy. On Etsy, listed at $6.00, less a $0.20 listing fee and about 10% in fees — roughly $5.20 a copy. Both platforms publish and change their own rates, so check their calculators before you price anything. How many copies you sell is entirely up to you, and we promise nothing.
It is a tool, not an income. It hands you a finished file for $5.99 and stops there. Whether anyone buys the book is a separate job — listing it, describing it, choosing who it is for. We do the drawing. The rest is work.
The market is getting crowded. Coloring books are one of the easiest things to publish, which means plenty of people are publishing them. A book that is merely fine will sit unbought next to nine hundred other books that are merely fine.
What you bring is judgement. Knowing that four-year-olds need thicker lines. Knowing that "dinosaurs" sells and "prehistoric fauna" does not. Knowing which of the twenty-four pages to reroll. None of that is in the file — it is in you.
We promise no sales, and we will never show you someone else's dashboard screenshot as proof of anything. If a page ever quotes you a monthly figure, close the tab.
If what you want is a magic button, keep your $5.99.
Two things are coming, and the second matters more than the first.
Plain language: opening a KDP account without getting stuck on the tax form, uploading an interior and a cover, and writing a listing that says who the book is for. No jargon, no upsell at the end.
Your coloring books sold from your own storefront, on your own subdomain, built with the same constructor you drew them in — so Amazon and Etsy stop being the only two doors out.
Yes, on both platforms. Amazon KDP and Etsy each ask you to tick a box declaring that the artwork was machine-assisted — you tick it, and you list the book. Neither shop bans it. What they do ban is uploading someone else's file and calling it yours, which is exactly what "made to order" protects you from.
A made-to-order book is drawn for your order and nobody else's — that file is yours alone, and it is the only one you may sell. The $3.99 shelf books are the opposite: one file, many buyers, personal printing only. If you plan to publish, buy made-to-order.
No. The interior arrives at 8.5×11" with the gutter and bleed already correct, and the cover arrives wrap-around with the spine measured for your page count. You upload two files and fill in the form. There is nothing to lay out and nothing to redraw.
It happens — a hand with too many fingers, a shape that reads as nothing. You reroll that page. It is one page out of twenty-four, not the whole book, and you look at every page before anything goes near a shop.
There is not. $5.99 for one book, $24.99 for five, $44.99 for ten, and then nothing. No trial that renews, no card kept on file for later, no credits that expire. You buy a book the way you buy a book.
Then take the first half of this page and ignore the rest. Pick a theme, print the A4 PDF, put it on the table with a tin of pencils. That is a complete and perfectly good reason to be here, and the business half will still be sitting here in a year if you ever get curious.
We draw the cover and page one before you decide anything at all — if the style is not what you pictured, you close the tab and you are out nothing.
