Ebook Cover Maker

The first option is to hire someone to design your cover or learn the software that will allow you to do it on your own. Learning the rules of good design could take you months and if you're someone who just dabbles at graphic design, then you may be somewhat intimidated at this prospect.

Obviously, if you hire an illustrator, this person should have experience specifically designing book covers and know what goes into a good design. Some places to go online to find an illustrator are www.elance.com or www.guru.com. You create an account, post a description of your project, then wait for designers around the world to bid on it. Depending on the type of book cover you are looking for, a cover design can cost anywhere from $300-$1200.

Ebook cover maker software has predesigned templates and will cost you less than $70 for the program.

The second option is to use pre-designed templates to design your ebook cover. If your book is non-fiction, this makes sense because non-fiction books usually have a bold title and a photo or graphic, rather than a detailed cover design. Using templates is an affordable option and best of all, since they were designed by graphic artists, they follow good design rules. All you have to do with your ebook cover maker software then is to select a template, upload a photo or graphic if you want one for your ebook, then type in the title of the book, subtitle and author name.

This software will make a flat version of your cover to append to the beginning of your pdf file, so when people purchase and read your ebook, they will see the cover first just as they would a regular book. The ebook cover maker software we recommend will also make a 3-D version of your book to upload to your site as a graphic.
