Creating my own book covers
Creating my own book covers
I am a self-published author as well as I have our book available to be acquired through a kindle or be a hardcopy… The digital books cost myself and others absolutely nothing to send people for free to get reviews or to get our name out there, i designed the cover myself all online.
I just send the person a connect as well as I am great to go.
The hardcopy books are quite a bit of money. I have to have the book printed as well as use up all that paper, but also, making our cover was a lot of labor too. I ended up going through one supplier to just do the inside of the book. They print all the words, chapter breaks as well as author information. I then receive the books separate from a cover. I do the printing for our own cover now. I entirely bought a high tech digital printer. I can design our book cover the exact way I want it. I don’t need to worry about sizing being off, words in the wrong site, or faded colors. I do all that labor myself. The cover is so important on a book. Anytime I rely on anyone else to do it, it usually ends up a disappointment. I have thought about trying our hand at doing the whole book! Right now our printer can only cut, laminate as well as color covers. I might need to invest in a better printing device to do the middle section of the book. That way I don’t have to go through anyone as well as can handle all sales myself.
