Publishing intelligence for independent authors

Make the book match the reader.

Hatti helps independent authors diagnose and improve the three places books most often lose momentum: how they are discovered, how they are presented, and whether the manuscript delivers on the promise.

The publishing system

A good book can still send mixed signals.

The cover may promise one genre, the description another, and the metadata a third. Hatti looks for coherence before adding more activity.

01 · DiscoverabilityCan the right reader find and recognize it?

Keywords, categories, title/subtitle positioning and metadata relevance.

02 · ConversionDoes the package make the reader investigate?

Thumbnail, cover, hook, book description and series signal.

03 · SatisfactionDoes the manuscript fulfill the promise?

Opening, pacing, voice, consistency, continuity and payoff.

Focused services

Small menu. Clear outcomes.

How Hatti works →
Already published?

Strengthen an already-published book without starting over.

A Hatti Book Relaunch combines the pieces most likely to be working against one another: cover, description, keywords, categories and positioning.

Book Relaunch · from $399

One reader. One promise. One coherent package.

We review the existing presentation, identify the highest-priority mismatches, then rebuild the agreed cover/listing elements. No sales or ranking guarantee—just a more deliberate retail presentation.

Typical: first relaunch direction in 3–5 business days; final timing depends on feedback and any print specifications.

Where it strengthens the retail page, A+ Content can be added to the relaunch scope.

How it works

Four steps. No publishing maze.

Direct studio review keeps the process focused. Your account, rights and final decisions stay with you.

01

Tell us about the book.

One simple brief. No full manuscript or account password required upfront. Free Book Health Checks are typically reviewed within 1–2 business days.

02

We identify the priority.

Hatti recommends the smallest useful scope rather than forcing a package.

03

You approve the project.

Scope, price, timeline and revisions are confirmed. Once you approve the project, Hatti sends a secure payment request.

04

We deliver the work.

Work begins after payment is confirmed. Private files are requested only where needed, and final deliverables follow the agreed scope.

DIY

Maximum control, more of your time.

Best when you know exactly what is wrong and have the design/editorial skill to fix it.

Disconnected specialists

Strong pieces can still conflict.

A good cover, blurb and metadata set can underperform as a package if each was built around a different reader promise.

Hatti

Coherence before complexity.

We look across the package, diagnose the mismatch, and recommend only the work that needs changing.

Good questions

Before you start.

Clear scope is part of the service.

Do you guarantee sales or Amazon rankings?

No. Hatti improves publishing readiness and presentation; it does not promise sales, rankings, reviews or bestseller status.

Do you need my KDP password?

No. You keep control of your publishing account. Hatti can prepare files and recommendations without your login credentials.

Do I need to send a full manuscript for the free check?

No. The first brief asks only for enough information to identify the likely priority. A complete manuscript is requested privately only after a manuscript project is agreed.

Who owns the final work?

You retain your underlying book rights. Project terms define the rights/licences for Hatti-created deliverables and any third-party assets used.

Is Hatti affiliated with Amazon?

No. Hatti Author Studio is independent. Amazon and KDP references describe third-party platforms authors may choose to use.
