How do I ensure that my Cover File is ready for submission?

To ensure that your cover file is ready for submission, you should take care of the following

  • The final formatting of your interior is done so that you know the page size and total number of pages in it.
  • You have correctly calculated the overall size of the cover as well as the individual sizes of front cover, back cover and spine from our Cover Design Specification Page
  • You have designed your cover image at 300 DPI
  • You have designed the cover in a single page containing Front Cover, Spine and Back Cover. Separate Front and Back Covers should not be submitted, nor should three piece covers.
  • You have placed the Back Cover on the left, spine in the middle and Front Cover on the right side of your Cover (except with RTL languages)
  • You have put the book name/author name and other usual details at the right places on the cover
