      No problem it was great! But I do have a question...I got an email back from Amazon saying I need to extend my front and back cover a bit..I am lost lol

    • @sarascanvastudio
      @sarascanvastudio  Рік тому

      @@missfits78 Amazon does that a lot! I’m sure it said you need to extend the cover size 0.125 inches top bottom right and left. Do that by adding 0.25 both to the height and width of the book cover that you’ve already made. For instance if the book cover size you chose was 17.25 x 8.75 inches make it 17.5 X 9 inches. Make sure to extend the image on the book cover extends all the way.
      If that doesn’t work, use amazons own cover creator. Just save the front cover image in a 1:1 ratio and upload it to the cover creator, it’s just above the upload your own cover button.
