I just paid $3,500 for a book cover.

For a client project, and it was worth every penny for that situation.

But most authors don’t need to spend that.
Most authors shouldn’t spend that.

You need a cover that looks professional, signals the right reader, and doesn’t embarrass you on Amazon.
Trust me, you don’t need to spend thousands to get there.

I know because I’ve designed most of my 30+ covers of my books. I’ve also hired people off Fiverr, 99 Designs, tried to use Canva templates, even AI Covers… none of it works for me.

Tuesday April 28th from 6–9pm I’m walking through my exact process live, start to finish, so you never have to pay $3,500 for something you can build yourself in an afternoon.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  1. How to find a cover idea that will actually sell

  2. How to build it in Canva so you never have to hire a designer

  3. How to make sure it connects to your brand and ecosystem

  4. How to turn it into a physical and digital cover Amazon accepts

P.S. $3,500 is what a professional cover costs when someone else builds it. Tuesday night I’ll show you how to build one yourself and know it’s good before you ever upload it to Amazon.
