"Thanks to this system, my book cover, which has

It got me on the cover of USA Today and in The New York Times.  Many people buy the book based on the title alone.
My book cover has also
catapulted my speaking career.”

-Patrick Snow, bestselling author of Creating Your Own Destiny: How to Get Exactly What YOU Want Out of Life





"This program helped me attract powerful testimonials from more than twenty bestselling authors and business leaders, including Brian Tracy. The tools and templates eliminated unnecessary bottlenecks, costly mistakes, and revisions. Thank you for sharing your expertise!”

Laura Cardone,
President of Profits With Purpose, Inc., author of Motivation at Work: Transform Your Business
in 6 Extraordinary Steps

 

“I didn't know the Los Angeles Times picked up my story, but right after the article was published, my book's Amazon sales rank shot up to 22,000. That seems high for a book that isn't even released yet! I also sent a media kit with just the book cover to a major book distributor. I got a call back from the senior vice-president. They are going to market my book. This was a big piece of the puzzle for me--getting picked up by a major distributor. The Cover That Book process made all
that possible.”

-Joe Ganem, PhD
author of The Two Headed Quarter: How to See Through Deceptive Numbers and Save Money on Everything You Buy

 

“The 13 tips for coming up with bestselling titles and subtitles alone are worth far more than you'll invest in this program. For a first-time author, Cover That Book is THE resource you can count on to help you avoid costly mistakes. For veteran authors it's a great checklist to help you stay on course with all the details, and there are lots
of details."
 
- Anne Nelson, author of Find Your Joy Zone: How to See What Makes You Happy and Love What Makes You Real

“I wrote 40,000 words in my book, telling people how to make their small businesses amazing. You just helped me find the 11 words that are making people want to
buy it!”

- Peter Wallin, author of In Pursuit of Business: Sell More, Grow, Earn More, Live More

 

"Cover That Book is a great overview of what is involved in creating a book cover, which is surprisingly complex, requiring many different professional skills. The CD clarifies the what, how, and when of making it all happen.”

Barbara Bouchet, author of Executive Presence & Impact: Ignite the Power of YOU





“I loved this information. It was invaluable in demystifying the vendor process and timelines. Note, I didn't self-publish, but went with a traditional publisher. Still, Cover that Book gave me much-needed insight into the whole publishing process.”

Rosemary Hossenlopp,
author of Step into Your Future: A Businesswoman's Path to Profits

Why do authors featured in The New York Times, USA Today, and on The Today Show use this method to create bestselling covers for their books?

Simple—these principles and techniques have been proven to produce book covers that get noticed and build your business. Cover That Book is the only system on the market to outline this book cover process, writing and design, in simple steps anyone can master. It is so effective that one leading New York publicist--the PR powerhouse behind Suze Ormon, Malcolm Gladwell, Tom Brokaw, and many others,--says, "I highly recommend Cover That Book as the way to give your cover the best possible start." It has been hailed by information marketing gurus as "the secret weapon you need to sell any book or product online, even long before it's finished." Based on years of work with bestselling authors, in 2005 these methods were first made available to the general public. Since then, authors and publishers using these methods to create their book covers report successes like a book's Amazon sales rank shooting up to 22,000 before the book is even released.

There are over 148,000 new books published in the U.S. alone every year.  Your book has to stand out and create a unique brand for you. Cover That Book™ shows you how. 

Timing makes the difference: Developed and tested by four leading book cover experts

"Unfortunately, for most authors and publishers the book cover becomes an afterthought, and the outside of the book does not sell the inside," says Dan Poynter, bestselling author of The Self-Publishing Manual, in the Introduction to Cover That Book™. In fact, many books with enormous potential fail because of common misconceptions about book covers. Most popular approaches to creating book covers fail to take into account the tremendous marketing power of the book cover. Research on book sales immediately reveals this shortcoming and confirms the most basic marketing fact: The success of your book depends on promoting it before it is finished.

The Cover That Book method, in sharp contrast, was developed by four book cover specialists who develop covers for authors and publishers across a range of topics and industries worldwide, from law, medicine, and business, to parenting, natural health, and spiritual wellness. These are individuals using their books to increase their client base, consulting and speaking fees, industry recognition, and brand visibility. What is behind their success? The techniques, tips, and tools in Cover That Book, proven to be the most effective, step-by-step process in the world for creating book covers that sell books and build your business.

Producing an ebook or information product? The same Cover That Book process applies to packaging and marketing any digital product.

All report a sense of relief in finally knowing exactly what to do and in what order. And, all report saving time and money by avoiding common pitfalls of the book cover process.

You may experience an initial jolt of inspiration, followed by a sense of being overwhelmed, again by the sheer volume of material to be mastered. In sharp contrast, Cover That Book has a proven track record of increasing the success of any book cover, for even first-time authors, in as little as 2 hours.

What will I learn here that I won't learn anywhere else?

The Cover That Book system was developed to help you understand the far-reaching importance of your book cover and how to successfully complete each step, so that you are armed with a book cover that will help you join that top 1% of bestselling authors.

Once you understand these principles, you can eliminate inefficiencies, save money, and increase your speed of getting to market. You can be promoting and accepting orders for your book, even on Amazon, before your book ever hits the streets.

No serious author should invest in any book publishing method that lists the book cover at the end of the publishing process or that promotes cover design without first addressing the initial branding process and copywriting steps.

There are several objectives one must understand to optimize the book cover process:

A) Ideally, you should start the book cover while you are writing your book or as soon as you get an idea for a book.
You do not have to finalize your cover until your manuscript is complete and it is time to go to print. But having each of the essential front and back cover components in place allows you to use your book cover to market and accept pre-orders for your book and to get endorsements. You still have the flexibility to make final adjustments to the cover, like adding endorsements, before the book goes to print.

B) Decide if your book will be competing in an existing market or breaking ground to establish a new category or niche market
This will make all the difference in how you write and design your cover.  To start, think about what differentiates you and your message from similar books already on the market—what’s unique about your ideas, perspective, approach, process, focus, experience, background, etc. In other words, why you and not someone else or some other book?

C) Determine your market positioning to create highly targeted back cover sales copy.
Who is your target market, your reader and your buyer, and how will you market to each? What do they already know and what are you bringing them that's new? Answering these and other questions about your target market is essential to creating powerful back cover copy. Having the back cover copy to work from then makes it easier to write or finish your manuscript. It tells readers and buyers what the book will do for them; you then write your book to deliver on that promise.

What Does Cover That Book Contain?

Cover That Book guides each learner through a series of progressively sequenced discussions, with steps for understanding your target market, creating a bestselling title and subtitle, deciding on a series brand, developing back cover positioning and sales copy, overseeing book cover design, handling production details, and more.

Unlike all other learning programs, you will experience this process in a conversational, round-table coaching format, as taught by two leading book cover copywriting experts and two leading book cover design experts. You will be exposed to the same strategies and techniques they have developed and refined by consulting with and creating bestselling book covers for an international client base of authors, experts, and publishers for more nearly 20 years.
