    This is the best tutorial I've seen. I made my book cover while watching and learned so much. I didn't know Word had so many options. Now I just need to learn how to make the physical copy cover, for Create Space. Thank you so much for taking the time to help us.

    I fell in love with the way you explain. Dayum, I did several apps just to make book covers and finally I found a simple way to do. Thanks!!!!!

    Excellent job, Amanda. I've watched dozens of how-to videos on creating book covers with MS Word, but yours was the best one by far. Two thumbs up!!!! Mike A.

      I fully agree. I'm writing a book and with 20 years of computer usage, multi OS's, and being 20 years online I never have needed or learned Word. I did A-ok thanks to you.

    Wow! Mandee, clear, concise instructions. Great job! I've been watching these videos for months now trying to learn how to use Photoshop to make a book cover to no avail. The instructors either go too fast, or don't tell you what the heck they're clicking on--a total waste of my time. As the commenter below states, "You deserve and A+. Thank you! I will be subscribing and searching for more videos by you!

    Thank you for making such a simple video with a clear explanation. Most of the 'book cover tutorial' videos on youtube are too rushed or hard to follow. I love the cover you made.
    Could you possibly demonstrate how to make a simple romance book cover with a beach/lake/field background.

    @bogrich5121 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you so much, Mandee, from Nigeria. Your teaching is cool. I had to go over it again and again and to practise it as well. My only challenge was the last part that has to do with removing the rough edges using shadows. I tried to do that many times with Word 2007, but the rough edges didn't blend well. I guess my Word lacks the feature for that. All the same, your teaching is superb. I can now head for the next stage of publishing my e-book

    • @catsNplanets
      @catsNplanets  10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I appreciate your compliments. I also have to admit that I was better at making sure the different cuts of the video fit together. I took about 20 different segments because of stuttering, or simply not knowing what to say, and fused them together. I took a lot longer than what most people would have. It wasn't easy. Thanks again!
