Self Publisher Tutorials for Authors and Designers

Self Publisher Tutorials

If you are new to Book Design, then these Self Publisher Tutorials provide a lot of Valuable Information.

Self publisher tutorials are for authors, designers, photographers, and any self-publishers. You can troubleshoot InDesign files with the guides. You can also learn more about book printing and file preparation. These are how-to guides for Star Print Brokers clients to prepare and send files to us.

One of the common or confusing problems for the new book designer is to understand the cover wrap on a hardcover book. It is not a dust jacket. It is the printed paper or cloth that is glued to the boards.

Please head about the cover wrap to understand the extra background margin we need is the cover wrap is printed paper. Confused? We can explain it!

Remember, when the interior text pages are complete and the page count and the paper thickness is decided, we will provide a template of measurements. You, or your designer, will have the measurements needed in order to finalize the files

Even the most savvy of graphic designers may need a little help when laying out their first book
