Is there a way to make my book cover design brief confidential?
By making the contest private you can make your book cover design brief confidential. Making a contest private means that no designer can see a contest unless they sign a non-disclosure agreement(NDA). Also, it restricts the web crawler to crawl the page, and therefore your design brief does not appear on the search page.
How do I know the spine width of my book?
Visit the site on which you want to publish your book and there you can find a spine width calculator to get your book's spine width. If you haven't decided the publisher yet you can still use any spine width calculator to get the spine width.
