Well, after much research and reading, I discovered you have to format your electronic cover as if it were sitting on a book shelf. I guess it makes sense. I just didn't think it would matter. So I have created a secondary cover to replace my first one. The concept is still the same, but it took me twelve hours to find the correct picture. Let me know what you think.
Hi Lauren, I've just seen your posting on Book Blogs. I think your cover is simply sensational, one of the most amazing I have ever seen. And I've been poring over quite a few while striving to design my own, which is not in the same league as yours, by the way. When I first saw yours I said to myself - this has got to be professionally done. Imagine my delighted surprise to discover you had produced it yourself!
ReplyDeleteI intend to publish my novel on Smashwords too, and was interested to note the formatting issues you mention in later postings.
I can't wait to read your book. When I've finally published mine I intend to reward myself with a kindle and begin reviewing Self-published Books. Yours will be the first on my list.
Pleased to have met you. I'm adding myself as a follower.
