I enjoyed using your TH-cam. To add margin easily in CANVA, after creating the new design Go to file - > click on settings - > click on add guides - > click on custom - > column = 1, Gap = 0, Margin = 0.375 becomes 0.38 Row = 1, Gap = 0, margin = 0.375 becomes 0.38 Add guides this will result in perfect Margins. ENJOY fast designs.
I tried this and there's one drawback... When you do it, it clears out any existing guides you already had. So you aren't able to do it for both bleed and safe zone. But you can do it for one of those, and then set the other manually.
@@HeatherCashArt It does have a "show print bleed" option under settings, so if you use the setting for the safe zone, Canva automatically will show the other
Loved the video. Senior citizen attempting to publish some childrens stories I wrote years ago. Very impressed at how you answered most/all questions below/above. I'll be asking some soon. Nice work!
Thank you so much ! You have a lovely, calming voice and it is so easy for me to follow you. You have made it so easy for me. My sincere gratitude to you!
honestly im not just saying this to be nice that was the most straight foward helpful video i have watched so many others trying to make it more complicated than it already is your genuine vibe actually teaches me not just trying to sound smart and then when i work it out im like why didint they say that hahah rant over as you can see i was gunna give up thank you so much really helpful i finally know what im doing now !
I'm still not always able to get the exact value even when I zoom in all the way! But, I can get close enough that it doesn't really make a difference. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Quick tip: if you zoom out the page as far as it can go without losing the edge, you can set the grid lines closer to 0.125. I hope this helps! Definitely subscribing!
Dear Heather, A warm hello and thank you from the UK. A huge thank you for your wonderful, easy to follow videos on producing a children's book with Canva. I started on a Monday and had completed my book by the Thursday. The next week it was published on and on Amazon! I am so happy as writing a book has been one of my wishes for a long time. Thank you, thank you, thank you x
Such a warm, easy-to-follow-along presentation! Thank you so much for making the 'complex' uncomplicated. Looking forward to seeing more works of art. Thank you!!
Love your calm, clear instructions. You made it seem easy. And I love that you covered the bleed and safe zone, things that most others don't. It's the little things that count. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Because of you I was able to publish two books for the very first time on Amazon just by watching your videos!!!!!! Couldn’t have done it without your help 💙
@@PNW_Mama aww you're so sweet!! My KDP book is called Mouse's Great Discovery and the book I published with IngramSpark is called Platty's Perfect Day ☺️ My Amazon author page is www.amazon.com/stores/Heather-Cash/author/B006WGMIXS
To get the actual ruler margin I use the ctrl key and the scroll wheel of my external mouse to increase or decrease the page to get the accurate ruler margin
I've seen on Ivy Hang's tutorial that she uses a square from the Canva elements to size needed for the margin then drags the tool to match up, clicks on L margin, then top and bottom as well.
Heather, so delighted to have found your channel. It is an answer to a prayer. I have been diligently working on a book of short stories for my granddaughter. The stories are some of our most cherished memories together. But we also meet each night in our dreams on a beach called Whispering Sands and it is in these pages that I will share my hopes and dreams for her future. I didn’t know how to put it together and I felt such anxiety because my time here is limited. It is with tears and a heart full of gratitude that I thank you for this video and others on your channel which have illuminated my path forward. ❤
Oh wow, that sounds like such a special book that she will cherish forever. ❤️ I am glad you found me too 🙂 If you have any questions or issues along the way, just send me an email at heather@heathercash.com ❤️
Your amazing Heather! You’ve given so much help ! My first book published !I am going to give canva a try but need to determine if I need to flatter my pdf prior to uploading to canva. So that I don’t loose my personal font
I couldn't have worked this out without your help! Thanks so much,! I tried so many videos and yours really takes the viewer through each step, so helpful, Thanks!
Thank you so much for doing this series! It is exactly what I need to get started since I have no experience yet with Canva! I look forward to your next video!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!! So easy to follow, to the point. Very detailed. Thank you. I just published my first book on KDP followed all of your instructions. Love, YULEP.
HOT Diggity Dog! Thank you so much Heather. I'm creating my first children's book based on my amazing great grandchildren so this is exactly what I need. I'll be looking at the rest of this series for sure!
Tip for viewing them kinda side by side! On the app on your phone, they are side by side and not above and below 🎉🎉 hope this at least gives some kinds way to see it better 🥰🥰🎉 thank you for the tips!!
That's really cool, thanks for sharing that tip! What I've been doing lately which works awesome, is previewing in Simplebooklet flip (there's an app in Canva which makes it really easy - it's under the "Share" menu) Then you get to flip through and see what it will look like as a real book!
True, but still not exact. But I've found the best solution is to create a rectangle .125" (you can set the size manually in the position tab) and then place it along the side and set the bleed guides so they snap to it! And then increase the size of the square to .25" and align it inside of those guides, and then make new guides to snap to that, for the safe zone.
Thank you Heather!! Very cute work! I was wondering as you mentioned, if you can send me here the link of the book cover size of the book above I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Hey ,heather. What file do you recommend for the illustrations (png or jpg)? I plan to upload the illustrations onto canva and do my book layout there. Thanks!
Hi, glad you liked it! You would basically just follow the same steps as in this video but don't put any art on the page, you would only be adding text. If you want some sample copyright text, you can find some on my website, www.heathercash.art
@@HeatherCashArt Thank you! I’m so glad to visit your website and TH-cam channel as I found so many new videos I’m looking forward to watching. I wasn’t able to find a copyright page sample; Is there a specific video I should look for with it? I’m just unsure on what verbiage I should use on mine. I think I understand the illustrations and inserting text, I’m just not sure how to phrase everything on the copyright page. What do you suggest? Thank you very much!!
@@carolynlarson7908 yay I'm so glad! Here is the blog post on my website with sample copyright text: www.heathercash.art/post/sample-copyright-page-text Hope that helps!
Hello! First, I want to give you a HUGE thank you for your amazingly easy to follow, clear and concise videos!! They are the best I have found in TH-cam and have helped me tremendously! 😊 I have a question. All 15 of my images for my story are saved in a Word doc. When I tried uploading the Word doc to Canva and dragging it over, I get an error message that says: "Canva Docs can't be embedded or added." I am thinking maybe I need to go into the word doc and save each image as a jpeg or a some other picture format? I can't figure out why I can't just take the whole word doc of all 15 of my illustrations and drag it right into a new Canva project :( Any advice would be amazing!!
Hi Leigh, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you like my tutorials 🙂 yes you'll need to save those pictures out as jpgs or pngs! They shouldn't be in a word doc. What I would do is copy them (select one and do Ctrl+C) from Word, and then go into Photoshop (if you have it... Or whatever photo editing program you use) create a new document, paste it in, & save as a jpg. Then import that jpg into Canva. Alternatively, I wonder if you can copy the image from the word doc and paste it directly into Canva? I would test it but I am in bed right now 😂 but maybe try that first because it would be simpler! Hope that makes sense - if it's confusing, email me at heather@heathercash.com 🙂
It's always going to be .125" on the 3 outside edges of the page (the side against the spine doesn't get trimmed off so technically doesn't have bleed - but I always just put the guides on all 4 edges anyways for simplicity). For your page size, the width is your book width + .125. The height is your book height + .25. Hope that helps!
Thank you for your videos. I have a question I changed colors to in my book from RGB to CMYK. Is it always necessary to check the box FLATTERN PDF? Thank you.
I used this video to format my ebook but there is a small thin white line on the edges that i can't get rid of when I launch the KDP previewer. Any help as to why this is happening would be much appreciated... maybe Im supposed to be using different dimensions in Canva for an ebook. Please help! 🙏 Also thank you for your videos. They are great!!!!
Thank you for your kind words! If you're having a hard time reaching the minimum, you can add a couple blank pages (not too many though) and add some extra pages like cover page, copyright, about the author, maybe a page at the end listing other books you have for sale, add activity or coloring pages at the end, etc. I definitely plan to make a video with these ideas!
Thankyou so much for this helpful video i have one question as i am doing my first book how to get images pictures is it good to create from from mobile do we need to download images
I don't recommend doing it in mobile, I think it's much easier to do it on the computer... But if you have no other option, then you can try to make it work. If you don't have illustrations for your book and need images, here is a video to show you how to use Canva images to create your book: th-cam.com/video/a73yJ75xgH4/w-d-xo.html
Hello Heather- I purchased a service from you on your website, (I'll Fix Your KDP Errors/Troubleshoot Your PDF), but everytime I try to email you- it doesn't work and my email bounces back- I need help! Thanks
Heather, thank you for this video, I learned a lot. I have one question. You said the first page is blank because it goes on the back of the cover page. As far as I know Amazon doesn't want a blank page without anything on it. Should I put the copyright on that page? or having one blank page with nothing on it is ok? I have been doing coloring books, and I remembered that I had to put a blank page in between each coloring page, but I had to add color to it or a border. I just want to be sure, I have been doing children's books now for the first time, and the ones I did, I did not put a blank page as the first page, but for now on I will make the first page blank. Thank you so much for your video, I really learned a lot. I am going to watch the series, and I subscribed to your channel.
Hi! The first page isn't the back of the cover, it is to the right of the cover (so back of cover on left, first page on right). It doesn't *have* to be blank, you can definitely put the copyright or whatever you'd like there. You are totally ok putting blank pages in your book. You don't need to add a border. Just don't put a bunch of blank pages in a row because then they are not there for any reason and that may cause issues with Amazon. But I have a coloring book with a blank page between each page and I haven't had any issues. And I've also had a couple of blank pages in the beginning and end as well.
Last I checked, that doesn't have the correct settings for page size with bleed. Update: just double-checked - it indeed does not have the correct measurements for kdp's specifications.
Hi! This was extremely helpful! I saw somewhere (but can't find it now), that there is a layout that we should stick to or else we may end up with multiple blank pages at the end of our book. Do you have information on that? I can't seem to find it and want to make sure I set up everytyhing correctly before printing. Many thanks!! xx
Hi! The only reason you would end up with blank pages at the end is if the number of pages in your PDF that you upload (a.k.a. number of pages in your book) is not a multiple of 4 (e.g., 24, 28, 32). Because of the way the books are printed (4 pages to a sheet, then folded and stapled together). But honestly it's really not that big of a deal, I have a couple of blank pages at the end of mine and I don't think it's super noticeable. Hope that helps!
Hi! I drew these ones myself. If you're looking for a children's book illustrator, I have some recommendations on my website: www.heathercash.art/hire-a-children-s-book-illustrator
Hi! Your don't really need any empty sheets, but you can add a couple if you need them to get to the minimum page count. The last page of the book will be on its own, to the left of the spine, so just keep that in mind. 🙂
Use anything you as inspiration l. For example, I wrote several story books based on my kids favorite stuffed animals. I also wrote some based on childhood pets and current family pets. So for example, if you like coffee, you can write a story book about a mother daughter, father daughter date day going to get coffee and the fun things they see in the way or what things happen to them along the way
Hi Heather. I have recently found your video and I cannot thank you enough. I have written 4 adult fiction novels but now want to try children's books. I use canva Pro which is brilliant and simple to use, but your video really helped me too. The only thing is, I am having trouble uploading to kdp, following downloading from canva as pdf, flattened etc. It takes forever to upload it just spins around and then tells me error, but without any details. Am I doing something wrong. I'd be so grateful for some advice. Thank you x
Hmmm, that is really weird if it is happening even when you flatten. It is hard to tell without having the actual file. If you'd like you can email me the file to heather@heathercash.com and I can take a look. One thing that I've done in the past with the mysterious upload error is remove some pages and try again, until you figure out if there was a "problem page"
Hi Heather! I created a children's book in Canva using single pages (not spreads), like you show in this tutorial. Are spreads necessary (if I understood this tutorial correctly, you can make a book using single pages?) And if spreads are necessary, is there an easy way to convert a layout like this one in this video to a spreads layout? Thank you!!!
Hi! The necessary format is *not* spreads, i.e. it needs to be single pages, so you should be good! If you DO make a spread, you end up having to cut it into two separate pages in order for it to be the correct format for KDP anyways. So creating all single pages is the way to go 👍
canva has updated so now you have to option to view side by side without going into grid view. The arrow below your pages and to the left of the grid option is what you would use.
Do you mean where you can expand the bottom so it shows all of your pages in a row? That doesn't really help when working on the layout and trying to see what the two pages will look like next to each other. The thumbnails are too small. Unless I misunderstood you?
Great video! I was wondering if you are supposed to keep the text and images centered on each page? Or do you need to alternate with right and left alignment of the pictures and text so when it's printed it looks centered? Would be stoked if anyone knows this! :)
It's really up to you and what goes best with your illustrations! I recommend going to the library and browsing the children's books there and seeing what layouts you like. Check those books out and bring them home so you can refer to them while you are designing your layout 🙂
I'm just starting, and have a quick question. Do I need to put the artwork in first? Or, can I put my text in so I can think about the pages and what art I'll need?
Hi! I was wondering if i could just flip the canvas if i want my book to be a horizontal rectangle ?? :( I used 8.375" x 11.25" but i want my book bound by the shortest end and not the longest!
Hi! You can do a custom size BUT keep in mind that the width cannot be greater than 8.5". Also if you do a custom trim size your book won't be available for expanded distribution (so it won't be available for bookstores) but that might not matter to you (for me it didn't matter bc I just figured what are the chances a bookstore is going to want it, that's like winning the lottery 🤣)
You would just need to know which pages are next to each other (the first page will be on its own, to the right of the spine. Page 2 &3 are next to each other, 4 & 5, etc). Then just add your text to, for example, page 4, and drop your art into page 5. Does that make sense?
I followed your tutorial and finished my book but I am continuing to get error messages from Kdp saying I need to add the .125 and .25 to my page sizes when I did the pages to the 8.375 x 8.5 already so not sure if I am putting something in wrong or not. I did go back and click flatten pdf this time before uploading it again to see if that makes a difference.. my art goes beyond the page so i chose with bleed.. what am I doing wrong?
Hi! Please watch this video: th-cam.com/video/zN7Cs-zKvTM/w-d-xo.html If you watch that video and still can't figure it out, then email me at heather@heathercash.com 🙂
Hi Heather.. I was wondering about your thoughts on punctuation. I have written my 1st kids book and my punctuation is fine but it's prob not perfect.. Does punctuation matter much in a children's book, does it still need to be spot on? I use the free version of pro writing aid which is really good but only limited.. Garamarly is another great tool but there is no free version.. Thank you..
Hi! In my opinion I think it does need to be spot on. If not, it just doesn't feel as professional. I'm kind of a grammar nerd so if you want to email it to me I'd be happy to take a look 🙂 I have to warn you though, I am an adamant supporter of the Oxford comma 🤣 You can email me at heather@heathercash.com
Thank you so much for your videos on canva and kdp! They are so helpful! I have a question: canva has an option for print bleed which (if I understand correctly will be where the book is trimmed), so can I put the first 1/8th guide for the safe zone? My title is big and I don’t want to cut it off but I also want to use as much space as I can. Thx!
Hi! You shouldn't use Canva's settings for bleed - they are different than those for KDP. Instead, you'll need to create your pages as the correct trim size yourself and add your own guides.
@@amymonroe3706 even if you didn't use KDP trim size for the page (if you used the actual page size without bleed) it would still be incorrect using Canva's bleed settings. This is because Canva will add the same amount of bleed to every edge. But for KDP, you're adding a different amount to the height vs the width. You're adding .25 to the height (2x.125) but only .125 to the width (since the side of the page that sits against the spine doesn't get trimmed off). Does that make sense?
You don't, you just select your book size. There's only 1 standard option for landscape (if I remember correctly), otherwise you can do a custom trim size. Also, keep in mind that the widest you can do is 8.5". (So for example, you can't do a landscape 10x8 or 11x8.5) Also, just FYI, landscape books aren't available for expanded distribution.
Hello Heather, I have a question, does it possible to publish a book on kdp which is only have 16 pages? I'm currently doing illustration for picture book for author, she doesn't know about the standard, so do i. Lol Some people say that's still possible but in ebook only TYIA
Hi! You're right, you can only do a book that small in ebook format. The minimum for paperback is 24. BUT, there are a couple of things you can do to beef up the book (I've been meaning to make a video about this!). One is that you can have all of your pages only on the right hand side of the spine (for non-spread pages). If you put a blank page between each one then basically the left side will be white and right side will have an image, i.e the pages are single sided. Does that make sense? (I did the same thing in a coloring book I made, so that the ink wouldn't bleed through if you color with markers). Then you're basically doubling the number of pages in your book. You can also add filler pages like copyright, title page, dedication, this book belongs to, in the front of the book. In the back of the book you can add about the author, about the illustrator, covers of other books you've done with QR code to their Amazon page, even activities! Hope that helps!!
Hi Heather, do we need to add a page for the inside front and back cover? Basically, my pages have a certain colour and I don't want to have inside front and back covers to be plain white
Hi! Unfortunately you aren't able to change the inside covers in KDP. If you want custom inside covers, consider IngramSpark. th-cam.com/video/KAXJURvC5B0/w-d-xo.html
Hi ms Heather. My book is 8.25×8.25. (8.375×8.5). Kdp emailed me, asking me to increase the inner margin. (interior). How i can do it please.kindly, Guide me
Hi! If you got that email but you are sure you did the trim size correctly (it sounds like you did) then you probably have some text close to the margin, or your illustration isn't going all the way to the edge of the page (you have a white border). In the error email that Amazon sent, it will list the page #s that have the issue, at the end of the paragraph. Look for those page #s and those are the ones that need fixed. Hope that helps!
Hi Heather - Thank you for sharing your video. My book concept needs a square format. I don't see that KDP allows square hardback books. Am I missing something? Thanks for you reply.
Hi! For hardback books, unfortunately there are very limited sizes and no square ones. But you also need at least 75 pages in your book - is yours that long? My book is paperback. There are a couple of square options for paperback books.
Hi Heather. Can i ask you a question regarding my KDP account? Im setting up an account, and in the payments part of it, it's asking for information with regards to tax etc, which I'm feeling quite reluctant to answer.. Is this part of the account set up? Tks
I believe that is because Amazon is sending you payments, so if your payments reach a certain amount they will need to send you tax documents, I think something like 1099-MISC but not totally sure, one of those. Also depends on your country too
No just click and hold on the ruler. Then slide the line from the ruler to where you're trying to measure. You can move the line by holding it. You can clear the line/s in File/Settings. Hope this helps.
It still never snaps to exactly where I want it when I'm trying to do something precise like 8.375. It will go to 8.374, then 8.376, then back to 8.374. Drives me nuts 🫠
Thanks for this video, extremely helpful. Once the bleed and margins are set do you duplicate the page to how many you want so that the bleed/margin shows up on every page? Also, why not use the bleed setting so you only have to do a margin? The bleed setting seems to be set correctly for whatever size page is made.
Yes, you duplicate your page for however many times you need it. Whenever you create a guide in Canva, it always shows up on all pages. The reason we don't use Canva's bleed setting is because the page would be the wrong size. Canva adds 1/8" bleed on every side, but actually when we calculate our document size we are only adding bleed to the top, bottom, and outer edge of the page. (We add guides on every side just because in actuality that's the only way we can really do it, since everything will get duplicated on every page - you can ignore the right guide on a left-side page, and ignore the left guide on a right-side page) So for example - if your final book size is 8.5x8.5, then your pages need to be 8.625 (which is 8.5 + .125 outside edge) wide, by 8.75 high (which is 8.5 + .125 top + .125 bottom). Whereas Canva would make it 8.75x8.75, because it would add .125 onto EVERY edge. Does that make sense?
Hi Heather, thank you for taking the time to explain it. I'm still not getting it. Are you saying that on this example the bleed is ⅛, but that is not always the case depending on the size of the book? @@HeatherCashArt When I used the bleed on Canva it has the same size as when I dragged the ruler over.
@@maryprater9218 the bleed is always 1/8 but it's only on 3 sides of the page, not all 4 sides. Canva will add it to all 4 sides making the page too wide. If it's the same whether you let Canva add it vs you adding it yourself, then you might be calculating it wrong. Make sure you're only adding 1/8 to the width, but 1/4 to the height. Your final file size needs to be page width + 1/8 by page height + 1/4 (because 1/4 is 1/8 times 2)
If the sizes are definitely correct, then you probably either have text too close to the edge, or your background doesn't extend all the way to the edge (leaving a white strip near the edge of the page). Look at the last sentence of the error message to find the specific page numbers that have the error.
You can, most people do. It's not required but it's good to have the info there. You can add a page to the beginning of your book with copyright info. I have a copyright blurb you can use, if you'd like me to send it to you, you can email me at heather@heathercash.com
Dear Heather, are the safe zone (1/4th of an inch) and trim zone (1/8th of an inch) values relevant to the Amazon KDP requirements for any book size? From what I have researched there is an entire page dedicated to that on KDP guidelines and I felt it is something better understood from experience. Thank you!💜

I enjoyed using your TH-cam.
To add margin easily in CANVA, after creating the new design
Go to file - > click on settings - > click on add guides - > click on custom - > column = 1, Gap = 0, Margin = 0.375 becomes 0.38
Row = 1, Gap = 0, margin = 0.375 becomes 0.38
Add guides this will result in perfect Margins.
ENJOY fast designs.
Beautiful thank you!!
I tried this and there's one drawback... When you do it, it clears out any existing guides you already had. So you aren't able to do it for both bleed and safe zone. But you can do it for one of those, and then set the other manually.
@@HeatherCashArt It does have a "show print bleed" option under settings, so if you use the setting for the safe zone, Canva automatically will show the other
@@esquiland you shouldn't use Canva's bleed settings because they are not the same as kdp's bleed requirements.
In Canva go to file-settings- grids-custom-put 0.25 in in margins. Chose 1 for columns and 1 for row. All your margins are now set.

For the bleeds, you can likely create a rectangle in the size of the final page and the guides may "snap" to those :)
That's a great idea!! Thank you for the tip!

To get the actual ruler margin I use the ctrl key and the scroll wheel of my external mouse to increase or decrease the page to get the accurate ruler margin
I've seen on Ivy Hang's tutorial that she uses a square from the Canva elements to size needed for the margin then drags the tool to match up, clicks on L margin, then top and bottom as well.
Yes that is a great method! That's what I do now too!
Heather, so delighted to have found your channel. It is an answer to a prayer. I have been diligently working on a book of short stories for my granddaughter. The stories are some of our most cherished memories together. But we also meet each night in our dreams on a beach called Whispering Sands and it is in these pages that I will share my hopes and dreams for her future. I didn’t know how to put it together and I felt such anxiety because my time here is limited. It is with tears and a heart full of gratitude that I thank you for this video and others on your channel which have illuminated my path forward. ❤
Oh wow, that sounds like such a special book that she will cherish forever. ❤️ I am glad you found me too 🙂 If you have any questions or issues along the way, just send me an email at heather@heathercash.com ❤️
Your amazing Heather! You’ve given so much help ! My first book published !I am going to give canva a try but need to determine if I need to flatter my pdf prior to uploading to canva. So that I don’t loose my personal font
Yes definitely flatten!!!
I think I’ve ruined something as the font is a mess in canvas 😩
Your tutorial was super helpful and easy to mirror. Thank you!
Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it!

Awesome!!! So glad my video helped you 🙂
Tip for viewing them kinda side by side! On the app on your phone, they are side by side and not above and below 🎉🎉 hope this at least gives some kinds way to see it better 🥰🥰🎉 thank you for the tips!!
Oh and you can actually minimize the boxes AND SEE THEM SIDE BY SIDE!! Has to be on the phone in the app!🥰‼️🎉
That's really cool, thanks for sharing that tip!
What I've been doing lately which works awesome, is previewing in Simplebooklet flip (there's an app in Canva which makes it really easy - it's under the "Share" menu) Then you get to flip through and see what it will look like as a real book!
when you zoom in you can get the numbers more precise
True, but still not exact.
But I've found the best solution is to create a rectangle .125" (you can set the size manually in the position tab) and then place it along the side and set the bleed guides so they snap to it! And then increase the size of the square to .25" and align it inside of those guides, and then make new guides to snap to that, for the safe zone.
A really clear and easy explanation. Appreciate your extra insights as well. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you for the kind words ☺️
Excellent video. I finally understand bleed.
I'm so glad! ❤️
Excellent answers to my head banging questions!
Yay, I'm so glad!
So easy to follow - excellent!
Thank you! This is very helpful! I look forward to viewing the rest of your videos.

Great advice, great tutorial!
Thank you!!
Hey ,heather. What file do you recommend for the illustrations (png or jpg)? I plan to upload the illustrations onto canva and do my book layout there. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this great tutorial. Do you have a video on how to do the copyright page and title or dedication page? Thank you!
Hi, glad you liked it! You would basically just follow the same steps as in this video but don't put any art on the page, you would only be adding text.
If you want some sample copyright text, you can find some on my website, www.heathercash.art
@@HeatherCashArt Thank you! I’m so glad to visit your website and TH-cam channel as I found so many new videos I’m looking forward to watching. I wasn’t able to find a copyright page sample; Is there a specific video I should look for with it? I’m just unsure on what verbiage I should use on mine. I think I understand the illustrations and inserting text, I’m just not sure how to phrase everything on the copyright page. What do you suggest? Thank you very much!!

How do you create consistent images
Thank you!
If everyone hasn't noticed, Canva now has all these functions in the view settings menu! Woohoo!
Wait which functions??
Hello! First, I want to give you a HUGE thank you for your amazingly easy to follow, clear and concise videos!! They are the best I have found in TH-cam and have helped me tremendously! 😊
I have a question. All 15 of my images for my story are saved in a Word doc. When I tried uploading the Word doc to Canva and dragging it over, I get an error message that says: "Canva Docs can't be embedded or added." I am thinking maybe I need to go into the word doc and save each image as a jpeg or a some other picture format? I can't figure out why I can't just take the whole word doc of all 15 of my illustrations and drag it right into a new Canva project :( Any advice would be amazing!!
Hi Leigh, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you like my tutorials 🙂 yes you'll need to save those pictures out as jpgs or pngs! They shouldn't be in a word doc. What I would do is copy them (select one and do Ctrl+C) from Word, and then go into Photoshop (if you have it... Or whatever photo editing program you use) create a new document, paste it in, & save as a jpg. Then import that jpg into Canva.
Alternatively, I wonder if you can copy the image from the word doc and paste it directly into Canva? I would test it but I am in bed right now 😂 but maybe try that first because it would be simpler!
Hope that makes sense - if it's confusing, email me at heather@heathercash.com 🙂
Thank you for the video, how do I know the value for the bleed?
It's always going to be .125" on the 3 outside edges of the page (the side against the spine doesn't get trimmed off so technically doesn't have bleed - but I always just put the guides on all 4 edges anyways for simplicity).
For your page size, the width is your book width + .125. The height is your book height + .25.
Hope that helps!
Thank you for your videos. I have a question I changed colors to in my book from RGB to CMYK. Is it always necessary to check the box FLATTERN PDF? Thank you.
Hi! Yes you should always check the box to flatten your PDF!
Thank you for this
I used this video to format my ebook but there is a small thin white line on the edges that i can't get rid of when I launch the KDP previewer. Any help as to why this is happening would be much appreciated... maybe Im supposed to be using different dimensions in Canva for an ebook. Please help! 🙏 Also thank you for your videos. They are great!!!!
Did you use Kindle Kids Book Creator to make your ebook? Check out this video:

I love your content is really informative, definitely appreciate it. How do we get past the 24 page minimum for KDP?
Thank you for your kind words! If you're having a hard time reaching the minimum, you can add a couple blank pages (not too many though) and add some extra pages like cover page, copyright, about the author, maybe a page at the end listing other books you have for sale, add activity or coloring pages at the end, etc. I definitely plan to make a video with these ideas!
Thankyou so much for this helpful video i have one question as i am doing my first book how to get images pictures is it good to create from from mobile do we need to download images
I don't recommend doing it in mobile, I think it's much easier to do it on the computer... But if you have no other option, then you can try to make it work.

Heather, thank you for this video, I learned a lot. I have one question. You said the first page is blank because it goes on the back of the cover page. As far as I know Amazon doesn't want a blank page without anything on it. Should I put the copyright on that page? or having one blank page with nothing on it is ok? I have been doing coloring books, and I remembered that I had to put a blank page in between each coloring page, but I had to add color to it or a border. I just want to be sure, I have been doing children's books now for the first time, and the ones I did, I did not put a blank page as the first page, but for now on I will make the first page blank. Thank you so much for your video, I really learned a lot. I am going to watch the series, and I subscribed to your channel.
Hi! The first page isn't the back of the cover, it is to the right of the cover (so back of cover on left, first page on right).
It doesn't *have* to be blank, you can definitely put the copyright or whatever you'd like there.
You are totally ok putting blank pages in your book. You don't need to add a border. Just don't put a bunch of blank pages in a row because then they are not there for any reason and that may cause issues with Amazon. But I have a coloring book with a blank page between each page and I haven't had any issues. And I've also had a couple of blank pages in the beginning and end as well.
we can also use the story book template in canva
🤔
Last I checked, that doesn't have the correct settings for page size with bleed.
Update: just double-checked - it indeed does not have the correct measurements for kdp's specifications.
Hi! This was extremely helpful! I saw somewhere (but can't find it now), that there is a layout that we should stick to or else we may end up with multiple blank pages at the end of our book. Do you have information on that? I can't seem to find it and want to make sure I set up everytyhing correctly before printing. Many thanks!! xx
Hi! The only reason you would end up with blank pages at the end is if the number of pages in your PDF that you upload (a.k.a. number of pages in your book) is not a multiple of 4 (e.g., 24, 28, 32). Because of the way the books are printed (4 pages to a sheet, then folded and stapled together). But honestly it's really not that big of a deal, I have a couple of blank pages at the end of mine and I don't think it's super noticeable. Hope that helps!
Where did you get your illustrations? Whom did u use?
Hi! I drew these ones myself. If you're looking for a children's book illustrator, I have some recommendations on my website:
www.heathercash.art/hire-a-children-s-book-illustrator
oh thank you for this amazing video ❤ very useful information! and how many empty sheets should be done at the end of the book?
Hi! Your don't really need any empty sheets, but you can add a couple if you need them to get to the minimum page count. The last page of the book will be on its own, to the left of the spine, so just keep that in mind. 🙂
You did very good ,my question is how to find stories for book?
Use anything you as inspiration l. For example, I wrote several story books based on my kids favorite stuffed animals. I also wrote some based on childhood pets and current family pets. So for example, if you like coffee, you can write a story book about a mother daughter, father daughter date day going to get coffee and the fun things they see in the way or what things happen to them along the way
Hi Heather. I have recently found your video and I cannot thank you enough. I have written 4 adult fiction novels but now want to try children's books. I use canva Pro which is brilliant and simple to use, but your video really helped me too. The only thing is, I am having trouble uploading to kdp, following downloading from canva as pdf, flattened etc. It takes forever to upload it just spins around and then tells me error, but without any details. Am I doing something wrong. I'd be so grateful for some advice. Thank you x
Hmmm, that is really weird if it is happening even when you flatten. It is hard to tell without having the actual file. If you'd like you can email me the file to heather@heathercash.com and I can take a look.
One thing that I've done in the past with the mysterious upload error is remove some pages and try again, until you figure out if there was a "problem page"
Hi Heather! I created a children's book in Canva using single pages (not spreads), like you show in this tutorial. Are spreads necessary (if I understood this tutorial correctly, you can make a book using single pages?) And if spreads are necessary, is there an easy way to convert a layout like this one in this video to a spreads layout? Thank you!!!
Hi! The necessary format is *not* spreads, i.e. it needs to be single pages, so you should be good! If you DO make a spread, you end up having to cut it into two separate pages in order for it to be the correct format for KDP anyways. So creating all single pages is the way to go 👍
Thanks so much!@@HeatherCashArt
canva has updated so now you have to option to view side by side without going into grid view. The arrow below your pages and to the left of the grid option is what you would use.
Oh awesome!!! I will check that out. Thanks!!
Do you mean where you can expand the bottom so it shows all of your pages in a row? That doesn't really help when working on the layout and trying to see what the two pages will look like next to each other. The thumbnails are too small. Unless I misunderstood you?
Great video! I was wondering if you are supposed to keep the text and images centered on each page? Or do you need to alternate with right and left alignment of the pictures and text so when it's printed it looks centered? Would be stoked if anyone knows this! :)
It's really up to you and what goes best with your illustrations! I recommend going to the library and browsing the children's books there and seeing what layouts you like. Check those books out and bring them home so you can refer to them while you are designing your layout 🙂
I'm just starting, and have a quick question. Do I need to put the artwork in first? Or, can I put my text in so I can think about the pages and what art I'll need?
Yes you can definitely start with the text and then put the artwork later!
This is great thank you so much! One question - do your number your pages in your children’s book?
Hi! No I don't number children's book pages. I feel like that's more for chapter books. 🙂
Does the illustration have to go on the right and text on left side
Nooo, it can be any format you want!

Hi! I was wondering if i could just flip the canvas if i want my book to be a horizontal rectangle ?? :( I used 8.375" x 11.25" but i want my book bound by the shortest end and not the longest!
Hi! You can do a custom size BUT keep in mind that the width cannot be greater than 8.5". Also if you do a custom trim size your book won't be available for expanded distribution (so it won't be available for bookstores) but that might not matter to you (for me it didn't matter bc I just figured what are the chances a bookstore is going to want it, that's like winning the lottery 🤣)
How do you add text to a blank page with the illustration on the other page next to it?
You would just need to know which pages are next to each other (the first page will be on its own, to the right of the spine. Page 2 &3 are next to each other, 4 & 5, etc).
Then just add your text to, for example, page 4, and drop your art into page 5.
Does that make sense?
What will be the price of that paper printing and what is that paper nameor texture
I don't know the exact pricing but my book is around $3-4 to print. The paper you'll select is premium color.
I followed your tutorial and finished my book but I am continuing to get error messages from Kdp saying I need to add the .125 and .25 to my page sizes when I did the pages to the 8.375 x 8.5 already so not sure if I am putting something in wrong or not. I did go back and click flatten pdf this time before uploading it again to see if that makes a difference.. my art goes beyond the page so i chose with bleed.. what am I doing wrong?

Hi Heather.. I was wondering about your thoughts on punctuation. I have written my 1st kids book and my punctuation is fine but it's prob not perfect.. Does punctuation matter much in a children's book, does it still need to be spot on?
I use the free version of pro writing aid which is really good but only limited.. Garamarly is another great tool but there is no free version..
Thank you..
Hi! In my opinion I think it does need to be spot on. If not, it just doesn't feel as professional. I'm kind of a grammar nerd so if you want to email it to me I'd be happy to take a look 🙂 I have to warn you though, I am an adamant supporter of the Oxford comma 🤣
You can email me at heather@heathercash.com
Thank you so much for your videos on canva and kdp! They are so helpful! I have a question: canva has an option for print bleed which (if I understand correctly will be where the book is trimmed), so can I put the first 1/8th guide for the safe zone? My title is big and I don’t want to cut it off but I also want to use as much space as I can. Thx!
Hi! You shouldn't use Canva's settings for bleed - they are different than those for KDP. Instead, you'll need to create your pages as the correct trim size yourself and add your own guides.
@@HeatherCashArt I understand now because we used kdp trim size for the page so canva bleed would make it incorrect. Thank you!
@@amymonroe3706 even if you didn't use KDP trim size for the page (if you used the actual page size without bleed) it would still be incorrect using Canva's bleed settings. This is because Canva will add the same amount of bleed to every edge. But for KDP, you're adding a different amount to the height vs the width. You're adding .25 to the height (2x.125) but only .125 to the width (since the side of the page that sits against the spine doesn't get trimmed off). Does that make sense?
@@HeatherCashArt Yes, it makes sense thank you so much!
Where in KDP I can select landscape or portrait?
You don't, you just select your book size. There's only 1 standard option for landscape (if I remember correctly), otherwise you can do a custom trim size. Also, keep in mind that the widest you can do is 8.5". (So for example, you can't do a landscape 10x8 or 11x8.5)
Also, just FYI, landscape books aren't available for expanded distribution.
What about spine margon
You don't need to take that into account for the inside pages, only when you create the cover
Hello Heather, I have a question, does it possible to publish a book on kdp which is only have 16 pages? I'm currently doing illustration for picture book for author, she doesn't know about the standard, so do i. Lol
Some people say that's still possible but in ebook only
TYIA
Hi! You're right, you can only do a book that small in ebook format. The minimum for paperback is 24. BUT, there are a couple of things you can do to beef up the book (I've been meaning to make a video about this!). One is that you can have all of your pages only on the right hand side of the spine (for non-spread pages). If you put a blank page between each one then basically the left side will be white and right side will have an image, i.e the pages are single sided. Does that make sense? (I did the same thing in a coloring book I made, so that the ink wouldn't bleed through if you color with markers). Then you're basically doubling the number of pages in your book.
You can also add filler pages like copyright, title page, dedication, this book belongs to, in the front of the book. In the back of the book you can add about the author, about the illustrator, covers of other books you've done with QR code to their Amazon page, even activities! Hope that helps!!
Thank you so much for the video! where's the 2 spread video?
It's coming soon! I might do it this week (to post this coming weekend) 🙂
@@HeatherCashArt thank you so much,I really can't wait
@@lisahearts2036 yay!!
Hi Heather, do we need to add a page for the inside front and back cover? Basically, my pages have a certain colour and I don't want to have inside front and back covers to be plain white
Hi! Unfortunately you aren't able to change the inside covers in KDP. If you want custom inside covers, consider IngramSpark.

@@HeatherCashArt Got ya. Thanks
Hi ms Heather. My book is 8.25×8.25. (8.375×8.5).
Kdp emailed me, asking me to increase the inner margin. (interior). How i can do it please.kindly, Guide me
Hi! If you got that email but you are sure you did the trim size correctly (it sounds like you did) then you probably have some text close to the margin, or your illustration isn't going all the way to the edge of the page (you have a white border). In the error email that Amazon sent, it will list the page #s that have the issue, at the end of the paragraph. Look for those page #s and those are the ones that need fixed. Hope that helps!
Hi Heather - Thank you for sharing your video. My book concept needs a square format. I don't see that KDP allows square hardback books. Am I missing something? Thanks for you reply.
Hi! For hardback books, unfortunately there are very limited sizes and no square ones. But you also need at least 75 pages in your book - is yours that long?
My book is paperback. There are a couple of square options for paperback books.
Hi Heather.
Can i ask you a question regarding my KDP account?
Im setting up an account, and in the payments part of it, it's asking for information with regards to tax etc, which I'm feeling quite reluctant to answer.. Is this part of the account set up?
Tks
I believe that is because Amazon is sending you payments, so if your payments reach a certain amount they will need to send you tax documents, I think something like 1099-MISC but not totally sure, one of those. Also depends on your country too
do I have to use amazon KDP for this or can I use it to send to a literary agent as a picture dummy book?
I'm not sure I understand the question
Do you have to give canvas credit on illustration if you don't have someone making the content and you use theirs ?
Hi! If you use Canva images, no you don't have to give them credit. Their licensing agreement states that you do not have to give credit.
You just need to zoom in image so you can set the exact ruler guide
No just click and hold on the ruler. Then slide the line from the ruler to where you're trying to measure. You can move the line by holding it. You can clear the line/s in File/Settings. Hope this helps.
It still never snaps to exactly where I want it when I'm trying to do something precise like 8.375. It will go to 8.374, then 8.376, then back to 8.374. Drives me nuts 🫠
Thanks for this video, extremely helpful. Once the bleed and margins are set do you duplicate the page to how many you want so that the bleed/margin shows up on every page? Also, why not use the bleed setting so you only have to do a margin? The bleed setting seems to be set correctly for whatever size page is made.
Yes, you duplicate your page for however many times you need it. Whenever you create a guide in Canva, it always shows up on all pages.
The reason we don't use Canva's bleed setting is because the page would be the wrong size. Canva adds 1/8" bleed on every side, but actually when we calculate our document size we are only adding bleed to the top, bottom, and outer edge of the page. (We add guides on every side just because in actuality that's the only way we can really do it, since everything will get duplicated on every page - you can ignore the right guide on a left-side page, and ignore the left guide on a right-side page)
So for example - if your final book size is 8.5x8.5, then your pages need to be 8.625 (which is 8.5 + .125 outside edge) wide, by 8.75 high (which is 8.5 + .125 top + .125 bottom). Whereas Canva would make it 8.75x8.75, because it would add .125 onto EVERY edge.
Does that make sense?
Hi Heather, thank you for taking the time to explain it. I'm still not getting it. Are you saying that on this example the bleed is ⅛, but that is not always the case depending on the size of the book? @@HeatherCashArt When I used the bleed on Canva it has the same size as when I dragged the ruler over.
@@maryprater9218 the bleed is always 1/8 but it's only on 3 sides of the page, not all 4 sides. Canva will add it to all 4 sides making the page too wide.
If it's the same whether you let Canva add it vs you adding it yourself, then you might be calculating it wrong. Make sure you're only adding 1/8 to the width, but 1/4 to the height.
Your final file size needs to be page width + 1/8 by page height + 1/4 (because 1/4 is 1/8 times 2)
I followed the sizes correctly but I’m still getting the interior problem emails after submitting. Do you have any ideas?
If the sizes are definitely correct, then you probably either have text too close to the edge, or your background doesn't extend all the way to the edge (leaving a white strip near the edge of the page).
Look at the last sentence of the error message to find the specific page numbers that have the error.
My story book doesn't reach the 24 pages minimum on kdp. Would kdp still print the book?
No but you can add blank pages and other miscellaneous pages like copyright, author page, dedication, cover page etc!
Hi Heather.
Do you write on your book copyrighted, before uploading to Amazon?
Thank you
You can, most people do. It's not required but it's good to have the info there. You can add a page to the beginning of your book with copyright info. I have a copyright blurb you can use, if you'd like me to send it to you, you can email me at heather@heathercash.com
Dear Heather, are the safe zone (1/4th of an inch) and trim zone (1/8th of an inch) values relevant to the Amazon KDP requirements for any book size?
From what I have researched there is an entire page dedicated to that on KDP guidelines and I felt it is something better understood from experience. Thank you!💜
Yes that is the same no matter what your book size is. 🙂 Hope that helps!
@@HeatherCashArt Yes, it very much does. Thank you 💜
