You walk into the first design conversation with words for the book you see.
Your work stays private. Author Media does not store, track, or view what you post. The AI services use business APIs with privacy set to the maximum.
Spend the conversation on the cover you want.
You do not need to become a designer to explain what matters about your book. You can put words to what you have been picturing and feel ready to discuss it.
Say more than “make it pop”
You keep the ideas that feel like your book and let the rest go. Give your designer useful context while leaving room for their expertise.
Bring assumptions into the open
You and your designer can find common ground before the first concept arrives. Say what matters to you without worrying that you need to speak like an artist.
Bring the book. Leave with a starting brief.

You get
A draft cover brief to review and adapt before sharing with your designer.
You receive a written brief, not cover artwork. Your book knowledge and your designer’s judgment should shape the final direction.
Before you start
Do I need to know design terminology?
Design jargon does not have to stand between you and your designer. You can explain what matters to you in ordinary words.
Will the tool design my cover?
You still need someone to create the artwork. Explore your cover’s possibilities with Book Cover Designer and approach your next revision with more confidence with Book Cover Analyzer.
Do I have to follow every suggestion?
You stay in charge of the direction your cover takes. Your book knowledge and your designer’s judgment should shape the final direction.
Is my work private?
Yes. Author Media does not store, track, or view anything you post to this tool. The tools reach each AI through its business API with privacy set to the maximum, so the AI companies do not train on your words.
