The simplest way of obtaining a correctly sized cover is to browse your book at Amazon, then click on View larger image. The image that displays will be suitable for our contest. Simply right-click on it, select the Save Image... (or similar) option, and then download the cover to your PC or Mac. Then upload it when prompted to do so during the entry process.

If you choose to manipulate the cover image manually, remember that the cover must conform to the following specifications:

  • JPG or GIF only, please. No PDF or BMP files.
  • The cover must be only the front cover. Please do not submit the back cover.
  • Its width must be between 300 and 400 pixels. (Its length can vary. Just make sure the cover is correctly proportioned.)
  • Name the file your book's ISBN number (e.g., 3-272-98812-X.jpg or 1373427669.gif).
