I hope you find these book formatting and cover art templates helpful. It works best if you save your Word doc as a .txt file before copying and pasting from the .txt file into the book template.
Download the book cover templates and open them in your graphics or PowerPoint program. Insert your text and illustrations, then save twice - in the program's native format, AND as a PNG to upload to Lulu. (Be sure to save at 300 dpi.)
Over 5000 folks here on Lulu have found these templates helpful in the process of becoming self-published authors.
For those who wish to turn the mechanics of their project over to experts, several editing, formatting, and cover art services are available at www.lulu.com/dixiepress .
