How to design, publish & market bookstore-quality books on a shoestring budget

Publishing doesn't have to be difficult.


In fact, publishing a book is as simple as getting it formatted and designed, then uploading it to a print-on-demand service like Amazon or Lightning Source.

But what if you can't afford a professional book designer?

This bundle of courses on self-publishing and book design will not only teach you how publishers manipulate readers into buying books, and not only give you the confidence to design and format your own books, but will even give you some starter templates you can use to skip the learning curve and make your book more professional.

So you can easily format and design a professional looking book that will attract your audience, without making amateur design mistakes that kill sales.

Take the hassle out of book design.

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.

 

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.


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. 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 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).

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 good news - now there’s an easier way to make great looking books, without any fancy software or design skills. Grab this bundle of book design and publishing courses, and get everything you need to DIY your book design.

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.


Here's a quick video on the formatting steps you'll learn - you can start from scratch or save time with our pre-formatted templates!


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.

Melissa Craven, Emerge Author
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


My package of DIY book cover templates and companion course will help you get a cover that sells. Discover the untold secrets to designing your own book covers - that helped triple my ebook sales… almost overnight. I'll also explain the amateur design mistakes you need to avoid (every author makes mistake #3).



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.


Here's a sample video that shows how to make a fiction book cover in Microsoft Word. The course videos are even better and come with dozens of premade cover templates for a wide range of genres.




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


You only get one first impression. Make it count with my book marketing graphics and 3D mockups. Using these for your book launch or discount deal will dramatically improve conversions, and get more likes and shares on social media.





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, and 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, or hundreds of dollars just for video tutorials.

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?

Professional book formatting and cover design will cost hundreds of dollars per book. Plus you'll be giving up control to a designer who may not get your vision, then have to wait around for changes and updates. The best designers are booked out months in advance. Sign up today and get the skills and resources you need to publish a bestseller.

Got Questions?


WILL THIS WORK FOR ME?
I'll be honest, book design and formatting can be complicated, and there is a learning curve. Doing your own book design means you can publish faster, cheaper with more control. But if you just have one book and want it to be successful out of the gate, you might want to look for a professional book designer. However, if you're determined to do it yourself, I GUARANTEE my resources and videos will help you do it right,.
When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. You'll also be "grandfathered in" to all the future resources and updates - I'm working on some awesome tools for you!
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund.
Will I have the same cover as another author?
NO - these are templates, not premades. You still need to find your own art and illustration. After you switch the background, your cover will be 100% unique. But even just getting the right text, spacing, and fonts can make a huge impact.
Will these work for print books?
It's possible to make print books with these templates (with a back and spine) but not easy. I'll help as much as I can, but if you get stuck you can hire a cheap designer to finish the job. The front cover is the most important part, and lots of designers will make a spine and back for under $50.

PS. Click the green button to purchase the Epic Book Design Package. As soon as you purchase, you’ll instantly gain access to all the resources. When you sign in, you'll see that you also have access to three other courses (this "course" is really just the low-cost bundle packaging them together, so you don't have to buy them 1-by-1.)

The process is extremely simple and you can look forward to finishing your book design and have beautiful print or ebook-ready files ready to upload in just a few hours, whether for Createspace, Kindle or Lightning Source.

You'll get life-time access to this course bundle and all the bonuses (everything I've already made + all the great new stuff I'm working on now). I'll send an email whenever there are new resources for you to check out. If you have any specific issues accessing the material, I'll be happy to help. And if it's not what you're looking for, or doesn't help you publish a beautiful book, I'll refund you 100%.
