How do you change your books cover????

Glynis Rankin

All you have to do is, go to your books. Select which book you want to change. Then look for the edit button on the upper right . From there you will have a selection where you can change the text or the cover. pick over then add or chose from what you already have.

I Really Want to Publish With BookRix, but...

The problem is that I have found uploading my book onto BookRix in a presentable format to be a hassle. No matter what I do, words get cut in half, chapter are mixed for no apparent reason, and a list long of other issues. For example, my titles go over to the second page of the book, while remaining on the first page, which results in an awkward half of a title on each page. Any suggestions? I really want to make it work,... Show more

The editor should actually be extremely easy to use - so perhaps you're over-thinking it due to your tech knowledge?

Contact support with specific details about the issues you're having and they will help you figure it out.

Lineh Lineh Bobina

And the words being cut in half thing are adjusted with your screen view. If you are on a page in a book and a line of text is cut in half, hit "ctrl" + to enlarge your screen and the text will adjust so that you can see the text clearly.

I never experienced any of those problems but maybe it's your browser. I find that explorer makes things look funny so I use Firefox instead and I never had any problems after that. But if you are a tech savvy then you would already know that Explorer is not good to work with.

After publishing something on BookRix, how long does it take for the book to get on sites other than BookRix. Amazon, barnes and noble, itunes, and so on.

L. Avery Brown

They must first be reviewed by each site to make sure it fits in with their parameters. It can take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month depending on the site.

luckyscar

What about amazon? What is its longest and shortest wait time?

Mia Tchoukour

Here's some information that I found from the FAqs in the help and support section:

How long will it take for my book to appear on the other eBooks markets?

Yep, it's something strange with us writers. We can write but can't speak for beans. Something about our brains.

Hello to the Newbies and the Oldies, too.

If you're a fantasy writer and sometimes feel like you've not got a good grip on presenting the story the way it 'reads in your head' - you could take a few pointers from a fabulous author, Aaron Redfern.

He's written a terrific book called 'The Long Way' that is a prime example of how a Fantasy Adventure story should be written.

So...

Don't have this problem with amazon etc.

TanyaB.

Yep. Once you have the title, click on 'Edit Content' and copy/paste your story or upload it as a file.

After, go to Edit Book Info, and write your blurb and the other info it asks.

Then go to 'Edit Cover' and upload a cover.

When all that is done, just choose the price. The last... Show more
