Covers
I help authors build the cover that THEY want for their book!
There are a lot of self-publishing authors out there who know what they want for their cover and just need some instructions on how to achieve their vision.
I’m not a cover designer. If you are looking to really make money on your book, and want to see it look perfect beside others in it’s genre on a bookstore shelf, then you definitely should invest in hiring a cover designer.
What I am is really good at Word, and I’ve learned how to use those skills to create covers that work for Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), Amazon’s self-publishing arm. On this page you will see some example covers – the author decided the content and I helped them figure it all out for upload. Instructions on how I did it are here, I hope they are easy to follow for you.
Some Example Covers

Ann wanted a warm cover and selected this picture after confirming that it was OK to use for commercial purposes. She also didn’t want an author photo and drew this stick figure as a whimsical alternative.
"Best" Writing Practices - ALM Kitching
Ann created a series of reference books for writers and wanted the covers to reflect that. Each cover has the series title at the top and pictures that she took herself – each cover in the series is unique but similar.
