What Authors Are Saying

Real reviews from real authors who published with ScribNova

β€œI had a book idea for years but never thought I could actually write it. ScribNova got me from concept to a published Kindle book in three weekends. The outline was surprisingly thoughtful β€” it even suggested a contrarian angle I hadn't considered.”

β€œI needed a book to establish authority in my niche. The AI wrote chapters that sounded like me β€” not like a robot. I revised a few sections, added personal stories, and published within a month. Already getting leads from it.”

β€œThe chapter writing is excellent, and the revision feature is a game-changer β€” I could say "add more empathy here" and it actually understood what I meant. My clients now see me as a published author, which has been huge for credibility.”

β€œI've used three AI writing tools and ScribNova is the only one that maintains story continuity across chapters. The summary system that feeds context forward is brilliant. Published two novels in four months.”

β€œThe research integration blew my mind. I gave it my topic outline and it produced chapters with accurate citations I could verify. My editor said the draft was cleaner than most manuscripts she receives from experienced authors.”

β€œAt 67, I finally wrote the memoir I'd been putting off for decades. ScribNova helped me organize forty years of stories into a coherent narrative. My grandchildren now have our family history in print.”

1

Describe Your Book

Enter title, author name, genre, and one sentence about the mood. Thriller? Romance? Literary fiction? Our AI knows the visual conventions of every bestseller category on Amazon.

2

Pick a Style

Minimalist, illustrated, photographic, typographic, dark academia, cozy, bold β€” 20+ presets built from Amazon bestseller research. Or describe your own style in plain English.

3

Get 4 Covers in 30 Seconds

DALL-E generates 4 unique covers. Pick your favorite, regenerate, or tweak the prompt. Download at full KDP resolution (print + ebook sizes included) and you're ready to publish.

Cover Styles We Generate

Real styles tuned to what sells in each Amazon category

Romance

Warm palettes, couple silhouettes, script typography. Tuned to Amazon Romance Top 100 conventions β€” contemporary, historical, or fantasy romance.

Thriller / Mystery

High contrast, shadowy figures, bold sans-serif titles. Red/black palettes. Matches the visual language readers expect on thriller spines.

Fantasy / Sci-Fi

Illustrated landscapes, rune typography, mystical symbols. Or sci-fi chrome and grids. Both subgenres covered with distinct style presets.

Literary Fiction

Minimalist type, single iconic image, thoughtful whitespace. The kind of cover that wins awards and gets stocked in indie bookshops.

Non-fiction / Business

Bold title, clean geometry, confident palette. Looks like every bestseller on the business airport-bookshop wall β€” because those covers sell.

Self-help / Wellness

Soft gradients, nature textures, reassuring typography. Calm, aspirational, magazine-level design.

ScribNova vs. Other Ways to Get a Book Cover

How to Pick a Cover That Actually Sells Your Book

Match your genre's visual conventions

A thriller cover should scan as a thriller in half a second on an Amazon thumbnail. Readers filter by genre visually before they read the title. Pick a style preset that matches your category β€” don't invent your own genre.

Test it at thumbnail size first

Before you commit, shrink your cover to 150Γ—240px (Amazon thumbnail size). Can you still read the title? Does the mood still land? If it only works big, it won't sell β€” most discovery happens at thumbnail size.

Title beats image every time

The title must be the biggest and most readable element on the cover. Image and mood support the title, not the other way around. If your AI cover buries the title in detail, regenerate.

Compare against your Top 10 category

Pull up the Amazon Top 10 in your exact sub-category. Does your cover look like it belongs on that list? Would a reader browsing that shelf stop on yours? If no β€” regenerate.
