CraigsPress.com Self-Publishing Tools - DIY Spine Width Calculation Charts Home / FAQs Center / Spine Width Calculation  

We will calculate and adjust the book cover spine for you during the CraigsPress.com publication process — you're not required to modify your book spine. But for those authors with design skills, creating your own cover could be a great challenge for DIY publishing.

We can incorporate your fully-designed cover with your self-published book for a small charge with our DIY Cover Conversion service, as long as the file meets our technical requirements listed below. Since each cover design and file is different, we provide quotes on a case-by-case basis dependent on the work required to prepare your file for publishing.

If you wish to calculate the width of your spine, you can download the guide for your book size. You must know the exact page count of your formatted and finished manuscript file, before you can determine the exact spine width.
