What is the best option if I want a high-quality cover?
Please refer to Module 2: Lesson 4 to know what your options are about your budget. Also, refer to the Resource Cheatsheet for a complete list of options.
How do I know if my book cover is good or not?
See Module 4: Lesson 1 for everything you need about cover design.
Can I put a ‘bestseller’ tag on my book cover?
Yes, but only if it has achieved ‘bestseller’ status on Amazon.
What do I do if KDP gives me an error code when I try to upload my book cover?
Contact your cover designer and let them know the error message that KDP sent (it will always tell you how to fix the problem) and a screenshot of the error page. It is your cover designer’s responsibility to deliver the correct size.
When do I begin the cover design process?
You can start the book cover design process as soon as you have decided on your title. Be aware that you must know the final page count for your paperback book before your spine and back cover can be made.
How many characters can I have in my title/subtitle?
Maximum of 200, including spaces and punctuation.
