I'm Derek Murphy, and I've been helping indie authors create stunning book covers for over a decade. I started DIY Book Covers to give authors the tools they need to create professional covers without expensive software or designers.
Featured in Oprah Magazine and CNN, with over 3 million views on my design tutorials. I teach writing and publishing on my main blog at Creativindie.com.
