Can I use my own book cover design or do I have to use one of Bookbaby's templates?

Authors have the flexibility to use their own book cover designs when publishing through BookBaby. This means that if an author has their own unique cover art that they have created or commissioned, they can submit it for use on their book. However, it is important to note that the cover design must meet specific guidelines and requirements set by BookBaby to ensure that it is suitable for printing and digital formats. These guidelines typically include specifications regarding file size, resolution, and formatting. If an author prefers to use one of BookBaby's design templates, that option is also available. The templates are designed to make the process straightforward, offering a variety of styles to choose from. For those who wish to explore both options or need more detail about the requirements for submitting their own cover design, visiting BookBaby's website can provide additional information and resources regarding their policies.
