Cover Design

[jr01bps]

Where do we find information about Cover Design?

Can we include a picture on the back of the cover of the Author?

Do we get to write any information on the front and back folds of the cover?

Is there a template we are required to use?

What are the perameters?

Once you get to the Cover Stage of the Publishing Wizard all the information is there.

 You will a good tutorial here.

The cover design wizard is a good program that has a number of selections you can choose from, and although I founjd it a little confusing at first (I'm too used to my own preferred software programs) I later realized how simple it is to do what I wanted.

You can put a picture on the front and on the back, if you choose to. A number of the templates allow for this, while others don't. You just have to look at the different options provided,.

I don't think there is a way to put anything on the inside folds, unless perhaps you go with a hard-cover and use a jacket, which can be done through the cover wizard.

No, you cannot print on the inside of covers or dustjackets. Which is a shame. Even the printing machine I own can flip paper!

[Ken Anderson]

With a dust cover for a hard back book you can print on:

inside fold front cover, front cover, spine, rear cover, inside fold rear cover.

I think there's a little confusion on this, you can add content to the flap, yes, but the flap is only on the inside courtesy of it beng a flap, ie, folded over, you cannot print on the inside of the flap, nor the inside covers of any book.

I do recall Lulu telling me they cannot print inside covers and/or dustjackets, but that was a while back.

[Ken Anderson]

I'm not confused.

With a dust cover for a hard back book you can print on:

inside fold front cover, front cover, spine, rear cover, inside fold rear cover.

Ken is correct about dust jackets, and kevinlomas is correct about the insides of the cover. We do not print on the inside of any covers.
