Get a free guide on cover trends for your book

Don’t risk a “meh” first impression. Discover what actually works in your genre.

We analyzed hundreds of bestsellers to create the ultimate visual cheat sheet for authors who want to stand out—and sell more.

The truth? Most self-published covers miss the mark. Wrong font. Weak composition. Off-genre vibes.

This free Cover Trends Guide shows you:

  • What readers in your genre expect to see
  • What top-selling covers actually look like today
  • How to avoid the biggest amateur mistakes that scream “self-published”

Whether you’re hiring a designer or doing it yourself, this guide will help you make smarter decisions—and better covers.

Tell us your genre and we’ll send it straight to your inbox.
