What are the technical specs for the Postcards (size, paper, etc.)?

These Postcards measure 4"x6" and are made of thick, high-quality paper. The picture side of the postcard displays the front cover of your book in full color with a glossy finish. The back side is printed on white, matte cardstock and provides ordering information including the book's title, author name, ISBN, AuthorCrossing name and Bookstore Web site. Additionally, up to 125 words of customizable text can be arranged with the ordering information to interest and entice book buyers and readers. 1,000 individual postcards come in a standard order.

What is the production process for Postcards?

Shortly after purchasing postcards, you will receive a submission form via email asking for the 125 word text describing your book. Once we receive the text, we will send you a proof copy to review about 2 weeks later. You can send in corrections with your approval form if needed, or simply send in the approval. Once the postcards are approved, print and delivery time is about 2 weeks.
