Self-Publishing Cover Design Options

InstantPublisher accepts camera ready custom designed covers directly from authors, along with offering many stock cover designs to choose from, and full custom designed cover services. Everyone knows you can't judge a book by its cover; however, the cover is always the first thing a potential buyer sees and will influence the initial decision to purchase the book. The cover is a very important part of a self published book and InstantPublisher recommends that the self published author put a lot of thought into the cover design.

InstantPublisher Pre-Designed Covers (You Pick a Stock Cover)

InstantPublisher also offers Pre-Designed Book Covers you can add your title to without additional design fees. Back cover wording results in an additional $20 setup fee.

Stock cover images are the entry level alternative to expensive custom cover design services. InstantPublisher offers many attractive pre-designed covers for self publishing. Covers are customized with your title description and author’s name. Font color and style can be changed but images cannot be modified. For a completely custom cover for the self publisher, IntstantPublisher offers custom cover design services.

Camera Ready Covers Files (You Design Your Cover)

InstantPublisher accepts camera ready cover designs in many different formats, including .TIF, .PDF and .JPG. If you are comfortable designing your own cover, the specs are set to roughly 1/8" larger than your actual book size to incorporate bleeds, with .5" margins for text. Feel free to use our Cover Templates for Photoshop and InDesign. Covers Designs need to be sized correctly and submitted at a minimum of 300 dpi. Word can be used for very basic covers but using a high quality graphic design program is suggested for high quality cover reproduction.

Use the spine chart to determine the width of your book spine, if necessary.
