Designing an compelling cover for your book has never been so simple.

  • Choose from a variety of cover templates with genre-specific images. Or, you can simply choose a solid color for the background of your book's cover.
  • Adjust the font style, size, color and alignment of your title, subtitle and pen name until you find the perfect layout for your book.
  • On the back cover, adjust the design and add a block of text to entice potential readers (for example, a teaser about the book, an author bio, endorsements or book reviews).

Once you've determined the front, back and spine for your book cover, continue forward and our online publishing wizard will render a high-resolution PDF cover proof for your review and approval.
