Design ebook and print book covers with the #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of over 50 books! This video-tutorial-style, self paced class will get imaginations rolling! Together we'll use Canva, a free online tool, to create both realistic-image and graphic-image covers that are ready to download. Whether you're thinking of self-publishing, dreaming of the future or would like a book cover image for something you're writing, this class is sure to get your creativity flowing. Take your creative writing or book writing to new heights with graphic design / digital design using Canva!

CLASS STRUCTURE:
- two-week, self-paced class
- no assignments, homework or teacher interaction

WHAT YOU NEED?
- your computer and you!

RESOURCES
Canva, a free online tool, is utilized during this course. I use the free trial for the subscription to Canva, however, learners do not need to have this free trial in order to create their own covers. Simply just choose images that do not require Canva subscription (I will go over this in the class).

NOTE
This class is more easily watched on a computer screen rather than a tablet or phone

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Business/Commerce from Mount Saint Mary's University
I am the Amazon #1 Bestselling Author of over 50 books (self-published and traditionally published). Being mostly independently published, I have created a vast majority of my own book covers myself.  I, also, create interior book art for other authors. I have done every element of self-publishing personally and am very knowledgeable and confident in the topic. I also coach newer authors. ...Can you tell I love creative writing? ;P
