We love to hear from our users and implement changes right away! This new feature suggested by one of our loyal users was implemented immediately because we loved it so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having customized cover art designers on our team is on the roadmap. But in the meantime, a really simple and free way to create book cover art is with one of our favorite websites- Canva<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They provide tons of templates for book covers that you can customize and plug into your LivingWriter story!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the best way to get started. Especially if you’re not ready to publish right away but you’re looking for a way to inspire yourself and help yourself visualize your book as a final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for ideas, then start by Googling best-selling books that are similar to the type that you’re writing. Be it self-help, thriller, romance, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collect the images of the books that you love the most. Then head over to a website like Canva and scroll through their selection of book cover templates that follow the same theme as your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve selected some that you like, you can begin to customize the title, colors, spacing, and images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canva provides images of their own, some of them will cost a dollar or two. Or you can head over to a site like unsplash.com<\/a><\/span> where you can search professional images to use for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try not to get your creative self too<\/em> distracted in the fun of cover creation, but have fun with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add your cover art to your story on LivingWriter just click on the 3 vertical dots (…) <\/strong>in your story thumbnails and select Cover Image<\/a><\/strong>. Now you’ll be able to upload a story image to capture its essence and motivate you at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
