MAKE A BOOK COVER IN MS WORD
Free book cover templates and tutorials
Here are some resources to get you started designing book covers in MS Word. You can download a free package below with a guide and some book cover templates. If you want the Word templates to look like my samples, you need to check the font list and download the same fonts, or else look for alternates that are similar using the “fonts per genre” pdf.
I recommend you watch these videos first, and then download the sample package and read through the guide as well. Then play with the templates, add your own images and change the fonts to make your own unique book cover design.
