KDP A+ Content Generator

Generate Amazon-compliant A+ Content for KDP books with proper module selection, text, and image specifications.

Workflow

1. Gather Book Information

Ask the user for:

  • Book genre and type: e.g., "Urban fantasy series, Book 3 of 5" or "Standalone romance novel"
  • Target content focus: series showcase, author background, cover art, book sample, or combination
    • Example: "Show all books in my trilogy + author bio"
  • Available assets: book covers, author photos, character art, etc.
    • Example: "I have cover images for all 5 books and a professional author headshot"
  • Book's ASIN: if already published (e.g., "B08XXXXXX")
  • Existing book description or key selling points
    • Example: "Epic battles, found family themes, LGBTQ+ representation"

2. Select Appropriate Modules

Based on content focus, recommend modules from references/modules.md:

For series books: Comparison Chart, Technical Specifications For author focus: Single Image & Sidebar, Single Left Image For visual impact: Image & Text Overlay, Image Header With Text For content preview: Three Images and Text, Product Description Text

Maximum 5 modules per layout. Preview desktop and mobile display.
