Here’s what you’ll get when you buy the Cover Template for Microsoft Word: With this new template, we’ve taken the same approach, and more. Like all our templates we try to take the frustration and delay out of creating your own books. (From the top: “blank” cover template, template with artwork and copy in place, books printed from the template. Both CreateSpace books and Ingram Spark books, in fact. We’ve already field tested the cover template by printing books whose covers were created with it in Word, and they look great. In this cover template, when you re-size the spine, the entire template re-centers itself, like magic. This need to adjust the spine width causes a lot of grief for authors trying to create their own book covers.Īnd it also created problems for the talented Tracy Atkins, who developed the cover template.īut the solution turned out to be amazing to see, and that’s part of the magic. Part of the reason is that you have to be able to adjust the size of the cover based on how many pages are in your book and what kind of paper you’re using. Why?

It’s part of our series of templates to help you create books in Microsoft Word.Īnd, I have to say, this new Cover Template is kind of magical. Today we’re launching a brand new tool to help get this right. Earlier this week I promised some help for authors who want to create their own book covers in Microsoft Word, but who find getting all the technical parts right a bit of a challenge.
