Intake – Non-Illustrated Book Formatting

Your book intake

1. Your details

We’re going to step you through everything we need to know in order to create your book. Just answer the questions and click Next to proceed, then submit at the end. If you get interrupted, click Save at any point and we’ll send you an email that takes you right back to where you stopped.

Please fill in both fields.

2. Your book's size

TrimCover art (px)Hardcover

Sizes in inches; artwork dimensions are pixels at 300 DPI including bleed. Amazon does not offer hardcover in every size.

Please choose a size.

3. Copyright details

You can just leave this blank. Amazon assigns a free one.

4. Dedication

Optional — send the final wording if you would like one.

5. Upload your cover art

Choose your size first — the exact pixel dimensions appear here.

One image. We build the full paperback and hardcover wraps from it.

6. Your manuscript

Either upload your manuscript as a file, or paste the text in the box below — whichever is easier.

A Word document is perfect. The paste box is for short pieces.

7. Choose the typeface for your book

Here is the first page of your book, shown in each of five typefaces. Pick the one you like best — we will set your book’s text in it.

Please choose a typeface.

8. Your author photo

A headshot or favorite portrait. It appears on the About the Author page and on the back cover. Skip this step if you would rather not include one.

9. About the author

10. Ready to send

Please complete the required fields in the earlier steps.
