Hi all!
It's been a while since I last did a review of something that helps my writing so I thought I would write another one. This time I'm reviewing BookBrush, a tool that you can use to make gorgeous images for your book.
I mainly use the custom creator part of BookBrush. I mainly use it for StoryOrigin headers and to make up my advent calendar visuals. They have a plethora of stock images you can use to make these visuals, which I think makes everything look better. You can add effects and stickers to your images as well to make up promo material as well.
If you don't want to create your own, there is the option of using templates that have been designed by the community. You simply pick the book cover you want to add to the images and you can download several in one go! I've used this a few times for a few promo bits. I like the variety of templates and you can search by genre or by what kind of promotion you're running. Sometimes I just like to upload my cover just to see what these materials look like!
I've created a few QR codes on here as well and I've found it incredibly easy. There are also book trailers which I've made up for the Elemental Dragons series. Unfortunately I haven't found a good use for these yet, but hopefully one day I can find somewhere to post them.
One part that has been recently added is the ability to have a book cover made for you. I haven't tried out this service but I'm sure it's as high quality as the other aspects of BookBrush. I did have a video call to chat about it when it first came about but I didn't go with them as they didn't have any example covers at the time. Now that they've been established and designed a few I'm thinking of having another look.
That's it for this week! What do you think of BookBrush? Let me know in the comments. See you next week.
