Book Posting Instructions

This is a new feature and additional benefit of membership. You have the opportunity to have your book cover(s) displayed on the website, and linked to a text description of the book, plus details on how to obtain a copy and how to contact you. To take advantage of this free service, please follow the instructions below.

Here is what we need in the synopsis; please follow this format.

If you have images of your book covers....

Send them by email (.gif or .jpg formats ONLY please) along with the information above to the Media & Communications Manager. Please send separate files of each covers. Try to limit your cover file size to about 50KB to keep download time to a reasonable period, for those with dial up connections. This can be done by reducing the resolution to no more than 72 dpi, limiting the colour to 16 bits, and keeping the picture to about 200 pixels in height.

The Media & Communications Manager will check to see that all required information is there and forward to the webmaster, who will post the covers and synopsis. Take a look at the several covers already posted; you can be there as well..

If you do not have images of your book covers....

Bring a copy of the cover/book to the next OIW meeting, or contact the Media & Communications Manager to make some other delivery arrangement. Follow the instructions as in the section above. The cover will be scanned and placed on the website, along with the other information, by the webmaster. The book jacket or book will be returned to you as soon as possible at the next meeting or according to arrangements you make.

NOTES

• Covers will be displayed in the sequence received. If you have more than one book you want displayed in a group, clearly indicate which titles should be shown together.
• If the book becomes unavailable, or other information about the book changes, it is your responsibility to notify the Media & Communications Manager so it can be delisted or updated.
