At Scribe Digest, we maintain a strict adherence to our editorial guidelines and layout, which guides our content selection process. As a result, we do not allow clients to influence our editorial choices or publish designs submitted by them. Instead, we only accept materials such as high-resolution book covers and author photos, to ensure a consistent and high-quality reading experience for our audience.
Understanding our Submission Guidelines
Our Submission Guidelines provide policy detail and guidance on the types of ad content we allow, and the types of ad content we decline. Prior to being published, every ad that advertisers submit is thoroughly evaluated against our policies to ensure they meet our standards.
Export Instruction for Print
1. In document setup, set bleeds settings to .125” on all sides, ensuring artwork extends to the bleed line.
2. All artwork (including placed images) should be CMYK
3. File > Export > PDF (Print) > High Quality PDF
Technical Specifications for Print
Although it is uncommon, up to.125″ inside the trim line may be lost during the binding process. Therefore, we advise that any bleeding edges have an additional safe zone: designs should keep all important text and pictures at least.125″ away from the edge.
• All files should be 300 DPI, PDF, and CMYK
• For full-bleed ads (1/2 and full pages): include .125” bleed.
• File naming convention: booktitle_author.pdf
• Please do not include rules/hairlines surrounding artwork
