A Format
Exact production specs for a relationship coaching ebook: word count, trim size, file formats, DPI, front/back matter, and pricing for KDP and direct sale on Quari Press.
A relationship coaching ebook is a business card that never stops working. It qualifies leads while you sleep, gives you something real to hand a prospect instead of a business card, and turns "I help couples communicate better" into a body of work someone can actually hold. But most coaches stall on the wrong question. They ask "what should I write about" when the real blocker is production. What word count is credible. What trim size looks right on Amazon next to Gottman and Perel. What front matter makes a 90-page book feel complete instead of thin. This page is the spec sheet. Word count, format, file types, DPI, front and back matter, pricing tier, all of it laid out so you can build the file once and get it right, then let Quari Press handle the KDP export and the direct-sale version at the same time.
Coaches write 12,000 words, call it thin, and never publish. Meanwhile a focused 25,000 to 35,000-word book that solves one specific relationship problem outsells a bloated 70,000-word general one, every time, because the buyer is in pain and wants the fix, not a textbook. Length is not the credibility signal. Specificity is.
KDP wants a clean EPUB or a KDP-formatted MOBI derivative with embedded fonts stripped to Amazon's approved set. Direct sale (your own site, a Stripe checkout, a link in your Instagram bio) wants a print-quality PDF with your actual brand fonts and a locked layout that looks identical on every device. Build for both from day one or you will rebuild the whole file later.
A relationship coaching book needs a client-results page before the table of contents, not after. Testimonials up front, framework name on the copyright page, a one-paragraph 'who this book is for' on the very first page. Readers deciding whether to trust a stranger with their relationship advice make that call in under 90 seconds.
$0.99 says hobbyist. $14.99 to $24.99 says practitioner, and that range is what converts a stranger into a paying client later, because the book positions you as someone whose time costs money. Direct-sale price it 20 to 40 percent above your KDP price since you're not splitting 30 percent with Amazon and the buyer is already warm from your content.
nonfiction
“One scripted framework for the fight that keeps recurring in every relationship.”
A tight, single-framework book built around one repeatable conversation structure clients can run at home after a rupture (an argument, a broken promise, a trust breach) without needing you in the room. Built for the coach whose whole practice centers on communication repair.
nonfiction
“A dating-readiness diagnostic that turns 'am I ready to date again' into a 7-day answer.”
A diagnostic-driven book for coaches working with clients coming out of breakups, divorces, or long single stretches. Structured around a self-assessment the reader completes in the first chapter, then a week-by-week path built on their specific result. Doubles as a lead-qualification tool for 1:1 coaching intake.
