Description
BookCoversLab is an online tool designed specifically for authors utilizing Amazon KDP, offering a user-friendly cover creation experience. It simplifies the process by automatically managing important elements like trim sizes, bleed, and spine calculations, eliminating the need for tedious spreadsheets or manual math.
Equipped with an integrated KDP cover calculator, BookCoversLab accommodates all standard KDP trim sizes and paper types, adjusting the spine width in real-time as you adjust your page count. Its preflight checks ensure that your cover meets essential standards, validating 300 DPI resolution, CMYK color profiles, bleed, and safe zones to enhance the likelihood of a successful KDP review on the first submission.
Authors can choose from a library of professional templates based on over 10,000 bestselling book covers or create distinctive backgrounds through AI-powered cover generation. Additionally, it allows for the quick transformation of an existing Kindle ebook cover into a comprehensive paperback or hardcover wrap within minutes, and you can easily export your design as a print-ready PDF/X-1a:2001 file for Amazon KDP submission.
This platform is perfectly suited for independent authors, small publishers, designers, and those new to KDP, making it a versatile choice for anyone looking to create professional-quality book covers. With its intuitive interface and comprehensive features, BookCoversLab empowers users to focus more on their writing while streamlining the cover design process.
Description
ShelfPublisher is an online platform designed for authors who have finalized and print-ready paperback manuscripts. Once authors gain access, they can purchase a publishing slot for a single book and upload both the interior PDF and cover via the website. After Orbita Media conducts a review of the submitted files, it allocates an ISBN from its publisher block, publishes the approved titles under its own imprint, registers essential book metadata with bibliographic databases, and manages print-on-demand production along with wholesale catalog distribution that reaches over 50,000 bookstores across 18 countries. Retaining their copyright, authors receive 30% of the net revenue from each copy sold for single-slot titles, with some subscription options providing even greater revenue shares. Sales reports are provided on a quarterly basis, and each publishing slot is valid for a duration of 36 months. This service eliminates the need for a print run, inventory purchases, or additional fees for ISBNs, making it an accessible option for authors looking to publish their work. By simplifying the publishing process, ShelfPublisher empowers authors to focus on their writing while effectively managing the business aspects of book publishing.
