Proper format is everything... Sigh. I have tried to upload a POD cover for The Ghost Downs three times now. Hope the third time is a charm... I got a note on the first upload that I messed up the spine width... I used the template - but somehow got it wrong. I was very careful in the spine width on the second upload - but it got kicked back with a "general format error" kind of message. Poking around, looks like I didn't leave room on the back for the ISBN. I MEANT to... but I didn't... Crossing my fingers...
The frustrations of being a one-man show are legion - but this appears to just be inattention on my part. I forget that POD needs a barcode so I lay out the cover like I would for PDF - trying to get the elements in pleasing balance...
If this was my job, I should be fired... But it's a hobby. As frustrating as this whole cover thing has been, I've learned a lot and I'm enjoying the process (does that sound contradictory? Maybe it is...)
