I personally like a 6 by 9 trim size. It reduces the end page count, which determines your book price (too many pages = high cover price) yet keeps it at a substantial enough size readers don't feel ripped off. And I've read libraries and such like that size, too. Not that I see many libraries buying mine, but you never know. That size also stands out a bit more in bookstores if you ever do that route.
Cover questions (Create Space)
At some point in the near future I'll be releasing my blockbuster novel. Right now the working title is "OPRAH WINFREY PRESENTS: HARRY POTTER MARRIES LADY GAGA" but I'm told there might be some minor legal issues to resolve first.
In the meantime, I have some questions.
- Is there a certain size I should make the cover image that will make it easier when going through the process? Can I just use the same image size I use for uploading the ebook version?
- What's the most common trim size for fiction? I don't want a mass-market size and I don't want something that takes two people to hold up, either. You know, something reasonable. Maybe almost like a trade paperback.
- How can I sell fourteen billion copies by Thanksgiving?
I appreciate your input!
Thanks.
Not really.
