Amazon set to launch cover creator tool

Creating the perfect book cover can be a challenging aspect of getting your novel published, and I’m sure we have all seen books out there with covers that are less than wonderful. One option that many independent publishers take is to use a professional cover designer to get it exactly right.

However, this isn’t always an option, particularly when you’re just starting out in your career and might not have the funds to spare for cover design. This is why it’s great to hear that Amazon is set to launch a cover creator tool for authors who use the Kindle Direct Publishing programme.

The tool is currently in testing but is said to be set to roll out more widely soon. It has been reported that it will include thousands of images and pre-programmed options for authors to make use of, as well as allowing them to upload their own art.
