Create the cover image
Cover images for Standard Ebooks books have a standardized layout. The bulk of the work you’ll be doing is locating a suitable public domain painting to use. See the Art and Images section of the Standard Ebooks Manual of Style for details on assembling a cover image.
As you search for an image, keep the following in mind:
Once you’re logged in and have found the text you want to edit (for example, this first chapter of Ford Madox Ford’s The Good Soldier), click the “Edit” button in the header. You can then make the changes in the text editor field that appears, write a summary of the changes you’ve made in the Summary field, and finally click “Publish Changes” to save them.
If you want to double-check your contribution, you can click on “View History” in the header to see the timeline of changes to the transcription. Your latest change should appear at the top along with its summary.
We often use transcripts from other projects as a base for Standard Ebooks. If you’d like, you can also report any transcription errors to those projects too (contributing upstream, in open source terminology). Our guide to reporting errors to Gutenberg and other sources.
