Hi all, @Abbie Cornall I’ve created a Word Search and Learn book based on 24 crystals, with five recurring pages for each crystal: 1. The benefits of the crystal 2. A word search related to the crystal 3. A quiz about the crystal 4. A notes page for the reader to write their reflections 5. A quote connected to the crystal The aim of the book is to make learning about crystals fun while supporting different learning styles. My question is — for research on best-selling covers, should I be looking more at crystal information books or at word search books? I can’t seem to find anyone doing quite the same thing!

Hi All @Abbie Cornall here is a copy of my first book cover (Title crystal word search & learn) I would love any feedback on improvements I have also attached some covers on books that are in the beginners crystal niche that are making some monthly money to compare. Thank you for any help :) I think the USP - What makes it unique is that it’s not just another puzzle book or crystal guide — it blends both. Readers can relax and enjoy the puzzles while also learning something new and meaningful about each crystal. It’s written in an easy-to-follow way, making it ideal for beginners and anyone interested in crystals, self-care, or mindful activities.

Hi all and @Abbie Cornall I’m creating my first book in Canva and adding a border design around each page. When I upload it into Book Bolt, I’m not sure how to set it up correctly for printing. Should the border be placed inside the bleed lines or extend into/over the bleed area? And when I upload, should I select “with bleed” or “no bleed”? My goal is for the border pattern to print right up to the very edge of the page (so there’s no white margin showing after trimming). The trim size I’m working with is 8.5 x 11. Thank you for any advice :)

Hi all and @Abbie Cornall I am about to start my very first book I am starting with a guided journal - My question is as it is my first book and I have no reviews is it best to niche down I was thinking of doing a self-help guided journal for ladies over 50 who have reached this stage of life and have lost their confidence and purpose slightly (empty nesters). Do you think this is a good idea or too niche? Thank you for any advice I am excited to start this new journey.
