Select the size of your book. Remember that we can only provide hardcover files for the sizes shown, and Hardcover books must be at least 75 pages, meaning you’d need at least 37 illustrations.

Please choose a size.

3. Copyright details

Copyright year Copyright holder ISBN (optional)

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

4. Dedication or acknowledgments

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

I would like a table of contents

5. Upload your illustrations

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

Files

Number them in reading order. Upload them all here or in batches.

I want you to add the book title and author’s name to the front cover (leave unchecked if they are already in your artwork) I want a full-page bleed (artwork running to the edges of the page)

Leave this unchecked and we’ll center each illustration on the page instead. Either way, the summary at the end shows exactly how your artwork will be handled.

6. Text for each illustration

Upload a single text or Word file with each illustration’s number followed by the text that goes on that page, or type the text into the boxes below. When you upload the file, its text is placed into the boxes automatically so you can see what you’re going to get.

Text file (optional)

Choose your illustrations in step 5 first — a box for the words will appear here for each one.

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

Author photo (optional)

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

Short bio for the About the Author page Back cover copy (optional)
