Book Covers

Writing a book and self-publishing it? No idea where or how to get a book cover for your story? I have the perfect place.

It's called Canva.com. I have made so many covers already, even for books I haven't even begun writing. At Canva, you can make unlimited designs, change them, download them, and even print a flyer or a poster of it.

Of course, they do have designs you have to pay for, but they also have many free designs as well, and I have not run into any problems with this, as I have been able to find the right designs and create all my covers for free.

Here are some examples of what you can create with Canva (these are my designs):

I was even able to make a business card, though I will probably never use it, haha.

Now another thing about Canva is that you can only create the front cover, and not the back cover or the spine. But you are able to create multiple pages, and I used this as a resource to create a front and back cover for The Player's Dream (that I will be publishing, announcing, and showing hopefully in the first weeks of December). I have not created a spine, but hopefully I can find some way to do that soon, whether it's with Canva or not.

I have found another site for covers as well, though, and it is completely free: Unsplash (https://unsplash.com/). They have so many images. Go check them out, too. Again, they will only have an image for the front cover, but I'm sure you could find an image that matched the first one enough to serve as the back cover. I still have not found a way to make a spine, but I will update you if I do.

I hope you enjoyed this post, and benefited from the resource!
