Need a book designed? Why not do it yourself!
The epic book design package makes it easy to format and design a professional looking book that will attract your audience, without making amateur design mistakes that kill sales – even if you have zero design experience! Writing a book is hard enough – getting a cover for it should be easy. With DIY Covers, you’ll be getting tools and templates you can use again and again, no matter how many books you publish!
Just choose one of our customizable templates, add your image, change the text and save it – it’s already the perfect size for your ebook. You can also use our 3D book mockup generator and promotional graphic templates for stunning pictures to share on social media, for maximum visibility.
But first, is this right for you?
★ You've written something and want to publish or share it
★ You don't have $500+ to pay for professional book design
★ You're not familiar with expensive and complex software like InDesign or Photoshop
★ You want your book to be "bookstore quality" - or better!
★ You want control of your project so you can easily make updates and changes
★ You want your book to be successful and earn some money
WARNING: Book design is far more important than you think!
Getting your books to sell and keep them selling is difficult, even for experienced writers!
I receive emails every day from struggling authors who need help marketing their books. Almost always, books that don’t sell are facing critical, basic problems with their book design. Which is sad, because those things are so easy to fix! 95% of what people consider "book marketing" actually happens before you publish. It's the branding, packaging and positioning that makes the biggest difference in a book's performance.
Unfortunately if you're not a designer, you're bound to make critical newbie mistakes (and professional book design can be prohibitively expensive.) Your book design is crucial to your book's success. Don't take chances with yours.
A well-designed book can double your book reviews and cut your marketing budget in half.
It'll encourage viral shares and instantly make the right readers eager to pick it up.
A poorly designed book will get you blacklisted from bookstores and be rejected by readers before they even know what it's about. Shoddy book design will ruin your first (and only) impression. Instead of a calling card, it'll become a visual assault and have readers clawing at their eyes (not good).
It doesn’t matter how good a writer you are, if readers don’t pick up (or click) your book because the cover doesn’t appeal to them, they’ll never read a single word of your story!
But I have great news.
Now there’s an easier way to make great looking books, without any fancy software or design skills

Bestselling book design on a shoestring budget
I wanted to create an easy solution writers on a budget can use to design professional looking books - without the hair-pulling frustrations of learning complicated software, or the terrifying emptiness of a blank canvas. So I built some book cover design and book formatting templates authors can use as a basis, to get started quickly. I also made step-by-step video tutorials on book design to guide you through the process (my tutorials on YouTube have over a million views!)
With these templates and resources you can quickly...
★ Design a cover that sells★ Easily avoid common design mistakes
★ Create professional looking books
★ Choose the perfect font for your genre
★ Format your book for print and ebook
They’re easy to customize, because all the hard work has already been done for you!
So if you’ve always dreamed of becoming a bestselling author and retiring on a beach under a palm tree, and don’t want to waste time banging your head against the keyboard trying to figure this stuff out on your own… this is your chance to level-up.
Previously, these templates were sold separately, but I decided to put them all together in one epic book design package. Here's what's included...
#1: BOOK FORMATTING TEMPLATES
Want your book to stand out, attract readers and sell more copies? These book formatting templates have over 100 options to make your book beautifully unique, a package of genre-specific templates, and a whole new video series on book formatting that's more in-depth and easier to follow. These templates will help you format your book for print and ebook, and give you total control, so you don't have to ask a designer every time you need to make simple changes to your book.
When I hired someone to format my first book, it was an epic fail. Then I got Derek's DIY templates and was able to teach myself. Now I do all my own formatting and I can't imagine not being able to make quick changes to my books whenever I need to.
After watching Derek's extremely helpful (and easy to understand) book formatting tutorial videos, I was able to put out a finished paperback that looked amazing using nothing but Word and a PDF editor. Highly recommended for all authors wanting a clean, professional looking paperback without wanting to break the bank hiring someone to do it for you.
Derek Murphy's book formatting templates are a like a lighthouse in a sea storm of confusion that is associated with creating a novel. I watched the detailed easy to follow videos to format my novel. I can't be happier with the result.
#2: COVER DESIGN TEMPLATES
These templates were made in Microsoft Word (crazy, right?). The idea was to use a software most authors already have on their computer. They aren't a perfect solution, but they have helped hundreds of authors create a cover they're proud of. Travel writer Gabi Logan used my templates to create her book, and look how great it turned out! Author Femi Oyewopo also sent me some pictures of a business book he published recently using my templates.
These templates are not premade covers - they are training wheels to get you started, but should not be used "as-is." You'll still need to find your own art or photographs. For years I've wanted to create something even better, so I'm building an online cover design tool as well; it's not ready yet, but when it launches I'll build a new round of templates you can access.
Derek Murphy is simply the best in the cover design world. I'm a co-founder of a publishing company and recently hired a new cover designer. The first "training" I did was take him directly to Derek's portfolio.
Derek, thank you again for spending some time on the Will It Fly stuff - it's been a crazy journey and we're almost ready to launch! I can't express how much your designs helped in shaping the conversation around what the book cover eventually turned into. Thank you, seriously, for your help.
One of the most critical things for the success of a book is a cover design that catches the eye and makes the reader want to try it. Derek designed several professional covers for my own books and I can recommend his design skills highly.
#3: 3D GRAPHICS FOR ONLINE PROMOTION
*** LIMITED TIME: EXPERT FEEDBACK ***
I'm not working with clients anymore, but if you join today you'll also get access to a private Facebook community where you can ask for professional feedback. This design package is meant to be DIY, so we can't do the design for you.
But if you're having trouble choosing a design, or are afraid your cover isn't properly attracting your audience, I can give you specific suggestions to improve your book design. I usually charge $500 for consultations, so I'll probably remove this bonus soon.
I just want to make sure everyone everyone gets the help and support they need to overcome their book design challenges.
To put it simply — this is by far the fastest, easiest and least painful way to design and publish bestselling books
Is this massive package more than you need, a little disorganized? Yes. But it's also the best deal on the internet - some people are charging as much for just one individual template. Plus, most book design templates or premade covers aren't made by actual book designers, who know what it actually takes to design books that attract readers, earn more book reviews, and sell on autopilot.
How much is your book worth to you?
The average self-published author spends $2500 publishing their first book. Covers can cost between $500 and $1000 (I charge more than that for custom work) and formatting is usually a couple hundred dollars (per book!)
I have friends who charge for individual book design templates, but you’ll be getting a huge package of them, along with some 3D graphics for online promotion. As a member, you can also ask me for quick feedback on your book covers, to make sure you're making smart choices.
Separately, all the materials and resources in this bundle would cost $498 - but I want this to be a budget, DIY option most authors can afford, so I'm setting the price at $97 for a limited time. In the future, I'll be putting these resources into a membership community with a monthly fee, but you'll get lifetime access to all new materials and templates by joining now.
But wait, there's more...
★ QUICK ACTION BONUS ★
BOOK MARKETING MASTERCLASS
If your book is invisible, it won't matter how good it looks.
If you're going to design your own book, my video tutorials and design templates will help you avoid the critical mistakes that will destroy sales. But even if you do everything right, you'll still need to get your book in front of the right readers!
Most authors publish first and try to build a platform later, and have no idea how to get reviews or keep their book selling long-term. I want to help you market your books and reach your readers, so I'm including my $297 course on book marketing here as a bonus.
