Self-Publishing 101: The Book Cover

We have all been told not to judge a book by its cover, but since the cover is what draws readers in, it is one of the most important elements of your book. In this class, we will create mock-ups for your cover and discuss the necessary aspects of creating an attractive, marketable, and modern cover.
