You should update the year and the name of the copyright holder. Now that your book has the correct ISBN information inside of it, we want to save our final version.
CreateSpace will accept an upload in a Word format, but your book will often look strange if you try that. If you have a problem with how your book looks after you upload, the bleed is the most common culprit. A common mistake is to find your title page on the left or your table of contents too close to the first page of your book.
These little spacing issues are only noticeable when your book looks like a book, instead of a Word document. It's now time to create the final cover for your book. Any attempt to create your cover before now will be incorrect. The spine of your book is determined by your trim size and the final page length that CreateSpace assigns you. If your spine is the wrong size when you submit to CreateSpace, you will have your project rejected and have to redo the cover.
You have two choices now, you can create the back cover and spine yourself or your can hire someone on Fiverr to do the job for you. There are plenty of designers who will create the CreateSpace version of your cover for just five bucks. Once you have accepted your upload and completed the interiror review, CreateSpace will show you the infromation you need to create your cover. You can see the templaet has white and peach sections and clearly defines the sections of this layoute.
You need to fill the cover to the dotted line. No text should cover the peach section or your cover will be rejected. When you have finished designing your cover, or waiting for your designer to send it to you, move on to the next phase. If you have followed the steps from the previous phase, this part will take five minutes or less.
If they print out books filled with technical errors, the customers will return them and CreateSpace will lose money. If you are happy with your work so far and ready for the human review process, click on Submit Files for Review.
