Upload Instructions

Note: If you need help or want BookZillion to upload your work for you, please send an email to .

  1. Assemble your materials.
    1. Author Bio. Type or "select & copy" a brief bio (50 words or less). Save and minimize it to the side or bottom of your screen so that you can easily click-on it to upload.
    2. Book summary. Type or "select & copy" a brief summary of your book (100 words or less). Save and minimize it to the side or bottom of your screen so that you can easily click-on it to upload.
    3. Reviews. You have space for 3 reviews, each 15 words or less, not including attribution. Type these, including the attribution, into the appropriate boxes, or "select & copy" them onto one "page". Save and minimize the page for easy access; when you upload, "select& copy" the reviews one by one to paste into the appropriate box.
    4. Book excerpt. Type or "select & copy" your excerpt (500 word limit). This does not have to be consecutive text; you can elide (…) to choose the most attractive bits. Save and minimize for easy access.
    5. Cover image. Find the image of your book's cover on either your own Website or your publisher's site. NOTE: Cover image must be no larger that 250 kb or 300 px width. This translates to maximum width of 1 1/2 inches and maximum height of 2 3/4 inches. Please see examples of Uploads in the Book List at http://www.bookzillion.com. Right-click on the image. Select "Save as". In the "Save as" box you may be presented with a string of letters and numbers. Delete them and type in something like "Moby-Dick cover"--that is, your book's title plus the word "cover". Click "Save". Minimize for easy access. If you can't access your cover image from the Internet, ask your local copy shop to scan your cover onto a CD or diskette and upload from it.
  2. Now you begin to fill in the boxes on the "Upload" page. When you reach the fill-in boxes beginning with "Author bio", call up each "saved" item, "select" it, "copy" it (Ctl + C), minimize it again, click into the appropriate box and paste it in (Ctl + V).
  3. Website URL: Optional. If you have it, flaunt it! We'd appreciate a link back to http://www.BookZillion.com.
  4. Uploading cover image:
    1. Click on "Browse". Your list of saved material will appear.
    2. Find your file of cover art.
    3. Click on it and click on "open". You will see its title in "Upload Cover Art" box.
  5. When you are finished completed the form click on "Submit".

Done!
