# Book launch OG image template

A three-dimensional book with its spine and pages, the title in a serif face, the author, a blurb and the release date.

- Slug: `book-launch`
- Preview (real render): https://shareglint.com/img/templates/book-launch.jpg
- Page: https://shareglint.com/en/templates/book-launch

For publishers, authors and newsletters announcing a book. Without a cover image the book is drawn from your title, author and accent colour, so you can post the announcement before the cover is final; send `cover` and the real artwork goes on the front.

## Fields

Every field is optional. Long text shrinks to fit instead of overflowing; an image field takes a public URL that we fetch on our side.

| Field | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| `title` | text | Book title. (default: Book title) | The Quiet Machine |
| `author` | text | Author name. | Elena Varga |
| `label` | text | Small label above the title, e.g. New book. (default: New book) | — |
| `blurb` | text | One or two sentences about the book. | A novel about the last engineer who still remembers how the city's grid was built. |
| `date` | text | Release line, e.g. Out March 3. | Out March 3, 2027 |
| `cta` | text | Call to action on the button. | Pre-order now |
| `site` | text | Your domain or a short URL. | harborlight.press |
| `cover` | image URL | Front cover artwork (portrait, about 2:3). | — |
| `accent` | colour | Brand colour as hex, e.g. #6366f1. Drives buttons, highlights and the background glow. (default: #be123c) | #be123c |
| `theme` | dark | light | Colour scheme: dark or light. | — |

## Make it yours

accent and theme change per request. For anything more, copy the template into your account: you get an ordinary HTML template with the same fields that you can edit in the dashboard or through the API. If the slug is free on your account, the copy takes it — your integrations switch to your version without changing a line.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://shareglint.com/v1/templates/library/book-launch/copy" -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_YOUR_KEY"
```
