THE STORY CONTINUES AROUND THE BOOK
The whole cover.
The same atmosphere.
Your chosen design includes editable text and a coordinated back and spine. Add your title, author and blurb, then set the dimensions for your paperback.
Confirm the final page count and paper so the spine fits. Review the complete wrap and the builder's text and image-quality checks before preparing the cover for print.

Make the personal connection visible.
01
Choose an image with a reason.
A home, a landscape or an everyday object can hold personal meaning without needing to explain the whole life. If you use a photograph, choose one that supports the story you are telling.
02
Give your name a clear position.
In a memoir the author is part of the subject. Keep your name readable and balance it with the title. A subtitle can help explain the scope when the main title is more poetic.
03
Set the boundaries of the story.
The back-cover copy can tell readers which part of a life the book follows and what changed during it. Focus on the experience the book explores instead of trying to fit a complete biography into the blurb.

questions.
For pricing, shared designs and print preparation, read the collection FAQs.
Can I add my own family or travel photograph?
Yes. Sign in to upload an image, then replace the example artwork in the builder. Check that you have permission to use it and that its image quality is suitable for the size at which it will print.
Do these designs work for personal essays?
A map of borrowed homes and All the lives can be adapted for memoir or personal essays. Use the title and subtitle to make clear whether the book follows a single story or collects separate pieces.
Can I add an author biography to the back?
Yes. Edit the back-cover text or add a separate text layer. Keep the main book description distinct from the biography, and leave room for your own ISBN if the book will use one.
