At the end of 2013 I put out a package of and revolutionized publishing with a how-to guide to designing amazing book covers in an easy to use program you’re already familiar with. But it took me a while longer to figure out how to customize your front cover into a full print cover for Createspace or other POD providers. I shared a guide to doing just that on DIY Book Covers a couple months ago but am now sharing it with you, for free, so that you can design your own full print covers in MS Word. HOW TO MAKE A FULL PRINT COVER IN MS WORD If you’ve never used MS Word as a design tool, you should first check out and sign up to get the free sample package and guides. Your full print cover will only be as good as your front cover; so getting the best possible front cover is a necessary first step.
Ideally you’ve already finished a book cover you’re happy with, converted it to a JPG and used it to sell your ebook. But now you want to make a full print cover for Createspace (or Lightning Source, or others). You need to know the final word count of your formatted book, so if you haven’t formatted your book for print yet, you need to do it before you start your full print cover. I set up some free templates and guides to book formatting here to help you out: Once that’s all done, you can download a print template that’s specific for your book. Createspace and Lightning Source templates Log into Createspace. Click on “Books”>> “Publish a trade Paperback”>> “Cover”. Then click on “Submission Requirements” and “Download Cover Templates”.
Or, you can just click this link to get there: If you’re using Lightning Source, you can download a template here: Most books will be “black and white” – set your book size and page count.

Once you click “Build Template” you’ll get a.zip file to download which includes a PDF and a PNG file. Calculating the size The templates come with a lot of extra white space. I usually use Photoshop to trim this off.
If you want to set up a Word file that’s just the right size, you’ll need to calculate this yourself: For Createspace, you need to add.125” of trim size to all the edges. So for a 6”x9” book: Height= 9″ + 0.125″ (top margin) +.125″ (bottom margin) = 9.25″ Width= 6″ + 0.125″ (outside margin) + 6″ + 0.125″ (outside margin) + spine width. To calculate the spine width, White paper: multiply page count by 0.002252 Cream paper: multiply page count by 0.0025 So, for a 6”x9” book of 200 pages, my height= 9.25” and my width equals spine (200×0.0025= 0.5”) + 6″ + 0.125″ + 6″ + 0.125″ = 12.75.” But you can also just open one of the files you downloaded, and it will tell you the spine width clearly. Interestingly though, my sample template generated by Createspace came out to a spine width of.49” instead of.5” as it should have; I’ve also noticed the spine can be off especially for very large books (600+pages) so Createspace’s calculations aren’t perfect.
