Full Print Covers in Microsoft Word | DIY Book Cover Design | Derek Murphy

I made this video to help people use the free book cover templates on www.diybookcovers.com.
Obviously ms Word isn't great for book cover design, but it is possible if you don't have any other options. Make sure to watch all the videos and download the templates if you want to play around with your own cover design.

Hey there - I'm Derek Murphy. I'm a fine artist who became a book cover designer, then started writing young adult scifi and fantasy. I've spent almost 20 years living abroad, have a PhD in comparative literature (revolutionary politics in Paradise Lost), and have been featured in CNN for renting castles to use as writing retreats. Although I'm not working with clients anymore, I've built a ton of resources to help indie authors write, design and publish bestselling books.
On this channel, I talk about writing, publishing and creating personal freedom with unconventional business strategies and providing value. My videos are unpolished and a little raw, because we travel full-time and I focus on content, not production quality.

Cool thx

[@DerekMurphycreativindie]

No problem

Love the video but thought I would point out that if your book is less than 100 pages, Amazon will not allow any spine text. From Misery to Happiness was only 80-pages and we had to add 20-pages for Amazon to allow spine text and it had to be so small you could barely read it.

I got your package and currently working through it. But this video appears to be the same video as lesson 7 even though it is titled lesson 8?

[@DerekMurphycreativindie]

I seen you $37.00 deal, I know very little about ebook covers, and only need to create about 5 right now. Will the $37.00 package give me all the tools I need. My theme is saving marriages.

Turn up your volume and speak very clearly and you will have made a perfect video.
