Where to get fonts -- FREE

If you need some free fonts fast, without worrying about licensing issues, I highly recommend 1001FreeFonts.com. They have well over 1001 fonts — over 6500 — and they are organized by style and alphabet. Mac or PC compatible. Most will work with BookCoverPro. They have easy instructions for installation, so you can download and be using the font(s) in just a couple minutes. Download individually, or purchase the entire library for $14.95. A great deal!

Creating a cover for CafePress

Here's an excellent question I recently received about submitting in CafePress:


Q:

I am producing a book on cafepress.com. I need to upload the cover in three separate files for these images, font spine and back Can this be done with bookcoverpro?

A:

BookCoverPro is set up to create a cover spread by default, however it works great for designing separate files as well. This can be accomplished by creating three separate documents in BookCoverPro; for example, if you have a 5x8 paperback, create your front cover as a 5 x 8 with an appropriate trim area, and for the spine, type in 0 (zero). Once completed, you would save your file, then generate it in PNG, JPEG, TIF, (or PDF). I would suggest PNG for CafePress as it will be the best quality. Then you would do the same for the back cover. For the spine, you would create a document with the actual width and length, and type in 0 again in the spine selection; that should work very well.http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif
