Dear Authors & Book Publishers...
[Insert violin music here]
Once upon a time, publishers had no other choice but to watch their hard earned profits flush down the proverbial drain as they continually doled out big bucks to cover designers. Having no time or art skills, there was really no other way... and worse, no guarantee that the design would work, meaning even more costs down the road...
Until now.
[insert sunrise over horizon]
Finally, publishers can take control of their own design — without having an art degree.
Our software was designed to follow three important rules:
• Contain all the necessities required for creating outstanding printed book cover design;
• Be comprehensive and hassle-free for anyone to apply; and,
• Make sure it's compatible with book printers worldwide — including popular online printers like Lightning Source and Bookwire.
“I am very pleased at the flexibility offered by Book Cover Pro. I was easily able to try dozens of iterations before settling on this one. In fact, my graphic artist "offered" (for a fee of course) to do the entire cover layout and to generate the bar code. I declined (to his surprise) and he was astonished when I sent him a final copy of the layout. He said he didn't realize I "had such skills." Little did he know, I cheated....I had Book Cover Pro! LOL!”

“I'm so happy! My proof arrived today and the cover looks wonderful! There were no problems or questions from the printer. BookCoverPro has saved me thousands of dollars in design fees, and thousands of minutes of quibbling with designers. I wish I'd found your software sooner but I didn't even search because I expected graphics software to be too technical for me. It's terrific that I don't have to be a techie to use this product. it's so easy that it's actually fun! Thank you for developing a quality product that's effective, user-friendly and affordable!”

According to a special report by Brenner Information Group, a small independent publisher typically pays anywhere from $450 to $3000 for a book cover design.
