How it works

You want to publish your e-book? Then let's get started!

You need:

  1. A cover measuring 1000 (wide) x 1500 pixels (high) (that's 26.45cm x 39.7cm) as a jpg or png. Smaller is also possible, but does not look as nice. Maximum size: 10MB.
  2. The e-book in one of the formats: PDF, Word or other word processing program, you will reach most readers with ePub and mobi (pure e-book formats). Maximum size: 100MB.
  3. The cover should also be integrated into the e-book! In the imprint, state your name and "Distribution via self-publishing.com" as well as the publication date.
