How it Works
What you need to get started:

The rights to publish your book
Final files in an acceptable format, including cover, all illustrations and photo art (unless you are planning on utilizing our art services)
We accept the following file formats
  • doc, .txt, .rtf, or .html files
  • PDFs of both text and images. PDF with a text layer is preferred
  • Proof your file for proper spelling, grammar, and syntax. Once your book has been converted to ePUB format, it's too late to fix a typo!
  • Do not use tabs or the space bar to format paragraphs or individual lines. Please use the format paragraph menu or the alignment buttons in the toolbar of your text-editing program.
  • Use a standard font for your document like Times New Roman, Arial or Courier New.
  • Do not use very large or very small font sizes. We recommend 12pt font size for body text and 14-18pt for chapter titles.
  • If you choose to include the publisher's name and address, the date of publication, copyright information, ISBN number, or any appropriate collaborative credits, please do so within the first two pages of the document.
If you are providing cover art please provide in the following format
  • Your book cover art must be at least 600 pixels along the larger axis and must be a TIFF, JPEG, or PNG file in RGB Color mode
  • The largest pixel dimensions possible (for example, 1200 x 1200 pixels)
  • Do not scale up artwork if it is smaller than the required size
  • If you are scanning your cover art be sure to scan at the highest resolution, or at least 600 pixels along the larger axis
  • Cover art must be at least 72 dots per inch (dpi)
  • Do not submit art that contains an embedded color profile, back cover, or thumbnail art
I. What are the benefits of creating an “app” and not simply converting my book to an eBook?

When you convert a book to ePub, the result is a single block of flowable text and images. On eReader devices, a "page" is simply the amount of content that will fit on a single screen, which will vary depending on your reader’s device. Think of it in terms of a single Web page. Part of converting to ePub involves removing much of the printed page-based formatting (page numbers, headers and footers, page breaks, etc.).
