How to Create and Publish a Coloring Book to Sell on Amazon KDP | Step-by-Step Tutorial (2025)

Want to publish a coloring book on Amazon KDP in 2025? In this beginner-friendly step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to create and publish one using both AI and non-AI methods, including my favorite non-AI approach. You’ll learn how to fix AI issues, create unique designs, meet KDP’s latest requirements, and avoid common mistakes. Plus, as part of the demonstration, I’ll be designing a coloring book in the viral Coco Wyo-style that’s been trending for the past number of months! RECOMMENDED RESOURCES & LINKS (MENTIONED IN VIDEO): The Publisher's Vault ($27/ Month Membership): https://089654778--hhpurchases.thrivecart.com/the-publishers-vault/ The Publisher's Vault (Early Access to 4 Premium Packs at Discounted Price): Note: The 4 Premium Packs shown in the link below with Coco Wyo-style illustrations will eventually be made available at a later month as part of the regular monthly membership with the Publisher's Vault (i.e. if you choose to sign up using the monthly membership link above). However, if you would like early access to these 4 Premium Packs or would rather just buy these packs outright without joining the monthly membership, then feel free to use the link below. Early access for each Premium Pack is usually priced at $67/pack, meaning for 4 packs, the total cost would be $268. However, the first 10 people who purchase through the link below will be able to get them at a discounted price of $147. https://089654778--hhpurchases.thrivecart.com/4-pack-for-ivys-friends/ [Sold Out!] Self Publishing Titans - KDP Keywords, Research, & Analytics Tools (Free & Paid options): https://affiliates.selfpublishingtitans.com/702.html Canva - Claim Your 30-Day FREE Canva Pro Trial: https://partner.canva.com/6bMOQK Amazon KDP Cover Calculator: https://kdp.amazon.com/cover-calculator Amazon KDP Help Page on Trim Size, Bleed & Margins: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GVBQ3CMEQW3W2VL6 OTHER KDP TOOLS & RESOURCES: AI Coloring Pages Generator: https://www.coloringbook.ai/?ref=IVYHANG Book Bolt - Get 20% off Book Bolt by using discount code: ivyhang https://bookbolt.io/2508.html Creative Fabrica: https://www.creativefabrica.com/ref/6493990/ Fiverr - Freelancing Marketplace to Hire Illustrators (Use discount code IVYHANG for 10% off your first purchase): https://go.fiverr.com/visit/?bta=996033&brand=fiverrcpa OTHER VIDEO TUTORIALS ON COLORING & CHILDREN'S BOOKS: Create a Children's Book to Sell on Amazon KDP - Step by Step Tutorial: https://youtu.be/ApF7g8leh7M Can You Use Canva for Publishing on Amazon KDP? | Canva's Licensing & Copyrights Explained: https://youtu.be/MFc0e7e-CRI Create Puzzle Books with Book Bolt: https://youtu.be/Z2snnEKq7EE Create a Coloring Book (The No-AI Method): https://youtu.be/-aRDyU-rvEo Create a Coloring Book using Canva and AI: https://youtu.be/1N-dI6IuVq0 BUY ME A COFFEE: Donations - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ivyhang #amazonkdp #canva #coloringpages #coloringbook #kdp #coloringbookpages #kdppublishing #selfpublishing TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction 01:19 Deciding on book specifications 02:50 How to set up interior pages and margins in Canva 09:44 How to design your interior pages (AI Method - Common Flaws & Tips to Fix) 17:20 How to design your interior pages (Best Non-AI Method) 30:26 How to set up your book cover template 33:14 How to design your coloring book cover 41:26 Upload and publish your coloring book on KDP!
