In my case this was 5.5 by 8.5, 454 pages and black and white interior on white pages. So to start, you go on CreateSpace and download the template which will be the exact size for your book size, the number of pages in your book and book type.

It only took FIVE attempts! So with this in mind, I thought I’d supplement CreateSpace’s rather sketchy instructions with my own journey. YEAH! I finally got my book cover accepted by CreateSpace.

Just saying ….ĭo you have any book covers that you think are head and shoulders above the maddening crowd of only so-so ones? If so, I’d love to hear about them! Click on “Leave A Comment” and share! But even if I did that, I’d leave the “a Novel” off the book cover. Naturally, if you want to name your novel the same title of a book that is already up for sale (which I would not recommend to begin with) you’d put “A Novel” after your’s so no one confused the books. Did they think I’d have a hard time figuring that out? The only reason I can think to do so was if there was another book up for sale on Amazon called “The Teleportation Accident” which was actually a non-fiction book retelling the account of an actual teleportation accident. One think I noticed while typing up this blog entry was how many of the authors chose to put “A Novel” after the title of their novels.
