What is A+ Content?
A+ Content allows you to add rich images and text to your Amazon book detail page. It appears in the "From the Publisher" section and is one of the few places you have complete creative control over your book's presentation.
The Most Effective Modules
Amazon offers several layouts, but three stand out for authors:
- Standard Image Header (970 x 600): Perfect for a large, atmospheric shot of your book cover or setting.
- Standard Three Images & Text: Great for highlighting specific features, characters, or benefits.
- Standard Comparison Table: The absolute best way to keep readers in your ecosystem by showing other books you've written.
Design Consistency
Ensure your A+ Content matches the branding of your book cover for a professional feel.
Amazon's Strict Guidelines
A+ Content is manually reviewed by Amazon. To avoid a rejection, DO NOT:
- Mention prices or promotional info ('Free', 'On Sale').
- Include customer reviews (even if they are real).
- Use low-quality or blurry images.
- Link to external websites.
- Use symbols like '™' or '®' excessively.
How to Create Your Assets
You don't need a professional designer. Tools like Canva have KDP A+ Content templates built-in. Focus on three elements: **Social Proof** (but without using the word 'review'), **Visual Storytelling**, and **Brand Authority**.
