CUSTOMIZABLE, EASY TO USE BOOK COVER TEMPLATES

Based on the design principles of best-selling books.

wpspin_light EpicBundle

You wrote a great book, but everyone is ignoring it.

wpspin_light EpicBundle
[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]

You try to get reviews but your emails go unanswered. You advertise and promote but nobody is buying.
Your book is getting rejected by people who haven’t even read it yet. That means you have a packaging problem.

YOU NEED A PROFESSIONAL BOOK COVER DESIGN

wpspin_light EpicBundle

Your book cover is the first and mostly likely the ONLY impression your book will ever have on would-be readers. If it doesn’t punch them in the gut and evoke an emotional reaction immediately, they are never going to read your summary or find out what the book is about. Your book cover is not just one piece of the publishing pie. The book cover is your plate! Without it, everything else will wobble and spill and make a mess.

But it’s hard to work with a designer to make the type of cover that sells books, and the best designers are expensive. Doing it yourself will take a long time, and you’ll have to learn complex software like Photoshop. Plus, you risk making a cover that you love but everybody else hates. Even if it’s not bad, it’s unlikely to produce the results you’re hoping for. You want to be a bestseller, don’t you?

You could buy a cheap premade book cover, but those are usually made in Photoshop and you can’t make changes or updates yourself easily. If you have a simple non-fiction book, you might squeeze by with a minimalist cover, but those will never work for a YA novel – a genre whose readers respond to beautifully decorative covers.

THERE’S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY

wpspin_light EpicBundle
[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]

Wouldn’t it be great if you could use a software you’re already familiar with to make your own beautiful and professional book cover, without the risk of common design flaws that can cripple book sales?

What would that do for your writing career? How much time and money would you save?

My name is Derek Murphy, and I know how frustrating it can be to get a great book cover design. I made my own cover for my first book over 10 years ago, and I spent months making it perfect – or so I thought. When it didn’t sell, I realized the cover needed to be better, so I became a Photoshop expert and began studying what kind of covers sell books. Now I have my own book cover design business, and I get so much demand I have to keep my prices high.

But I wanted to find a way to help indie authors get quality book design at a bargain price. None of the online tools available could make the type of powerful covers I’m known for. Premade templates often looking amateurish, and most of them are made in Photoshop so even if you buy them, you can’t make even simple changes yourself.

I had a breakthrough when I discovered Microsoft Word has features that make designing easy – if you know what you’re doing. So I made over 150 book cover templates in MS Word, so that authors could use a program they are already familiar with. It’s easy to open the templates, switch the images and edit the text, and save the file as a ready-to-use cover. But I wasn’t satisfied, so I invested thousands of dollars making my own online book cover design tool. You can use it on any computer connected to the internet, and it will always be totally free for everyone. I also put together a Udemy course with tutorial videos to help authors understand the principles of bestselling book design.

Design your own book covers with DIY templates

wpspin_light EpicBundle
[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]

I decided to give away a lot of the resources and some sample templates, so anybody can learn to make their own book covers. However, just because you can make your own covers, doesn’t mean you should (without guidance, you can use all my tools and still make ugly covers). If you join as a member, you’ll get access to a huge collection of book cover templates, so that you can design your own book covers quickly, without starting from scratch. Think of the templates as training wheels, to give you a firm design foundation to begin from, so you can make a much more professional book cover, much faster than you would be able to on your own.

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]Hey there! This is the sales page for my DIY book covers solution – it’s a big bundle of cover design templates, mostly in MS Word, for a variety of genres. It’s a little dated so I added a big discount, and a few bonuses – you’ll get tutorials on book cover design and a course on book marketing, in addition to all the old templates. However I’m about to do a complete site-wide redesign. I haven’t figured everything out yet, but I’ll probably sell individual templates for around $39 and a genre-bundle for $59 (and remove the bonuses). That means if you found this page, you can sneak in early and get a big discount to all the new stuff, because you’ll have lifetime access to at least the first big batch of new templates I make. It’s a pretty great deal, and I still hear from people all the time about how these templates and resources were life-changing for many authors. But if you’d prefer to wait, you can sign up for the free bundle and I’ll let you know when all the new resources are available… but it’ll cost more and you’ll get less…[/text_block]

Terms and Conditions

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”center” font_size=”20″]

These are NOT premade book covers – they are meant to be used as a starting point only. To make sure your cover is totally unique, you should find your own stock photography and replace the images I used in these templates. Some of these covers were modeled off bestselling books, but similarities should vanish once you swap in your own text and images. Buying this package of templates does not give you the rights to use any of the images or fonts, so you should check to see what licensing is needed, and make sure you have the appropriate rights. If you have any questions about this, please get in touch.
