What page size, paper, and cover options are available for print books?
When publishing a print book on PubliWrite, you will need to choose print setup options before submitting your book for review.
These options help determine how your physical book will be produced, including its size, paper type, cover finish, and other print specifications.
Page size options
During the print setup process, you can choose from the available page size options shown in the publishing flow.
The right page size may depend on your book type, genre, layout, and reader experience.
For example, novels, poetry books, children’s books, workbooks, and illustrated books may require different page sizes.
Before choosing a page size, make sure your interior file is formatted to match the selected size.
Cover and lamination options
Print books also require cover-related choices, such as cover finish or lamination type.
These options affect the final look and feel of the physical book cover.
You are able to choose options such as matte or gloss lamination.
Paper and text stock options
You also need to choose the paper or text stock for your printed book.
This affects how the interior pages feel and how text or images appear in print.
The available options may vary depending on the print format, page size, and production availability.
Why do these options matter?
Print setup options can affect:
- The final look and feel of the book
- Printing cost
- Minimum selling price
- Reader experience
- File requirements
- Whether your files are suitable for print production
Review these options carefully before submitting your print version for approval.
Important note
Your manuscript or interior file should match the print settings you choose.
If your file size, margins, cover, or layout does not match the selected print specifications, your book may need changes before it can be approved for print.
