book cover tutorial

Years ago I spoke at the Author Marketing Live conference in Cleveland about book cover design and book marketing. Since then I’ve spoken at dozens of conferences around the world, but here’s a video I put together going over all the basics I’ve learned after designing over 100 bestselling books.

I’m an awkward, self-conscious speaker, but there’s 45 minutes of pretty high value revelations that are sure to change your thinking about book cover design.

Make sure you get the full tutorial series, which will also show you how to use our custom templates to design your own book cover.
