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.

Let the words set the rhythm.
01
Choose a visual echo.
One image can suggest a theme without illustrating a particular poem. Look for a colour, texture or object that feels connected to the collection, and leave room for a reader to find their own meaning.
02
Treat line breaks as part of the title.
The way a title falls across the cover affects its rhythm. Adjust the words with the same care you would give a line of poetry, while keeping them readable at a small size.
03
Let the back cover breathe.
A short introduction or a carefully chosen excerpt may suit the tone better than a crowded description. Use only text you have the right to publish, and give the words enough space around them.

questions.
For pricing, shared designs and print preparation, read the collection FAQs.
Which covers suit a reflective poetry collection?
Saltwater letters offers a quiet starting point with a small paper boat and restrained lettering. The things we leave unsaid provides another option for poems and personal reflections.
Can I put a poem on the back cover?
Yes. Replace the sample blurb with your own text and adjust its line breaks. Keep the type comfortably readable and check that a long poem fits without crowding the barcode area.
Will a short poetry book have room for spine text?
The available space depends on your page count and paper. Enter both in the builder and review the calculated spine before deciding whether to include lettering. A narrow spine may need a simpler treatment.
