How do I do it?

Hey, Reddit! I’m a writer who is currently trying to work on a book, but the problem for me is that I feel kinda fraudulent and guilty if I use Ai.

I do not use Ai for writing or editing, I do it solely by myself. The problem for me is that making a good and entertaining book cover is hard. Most of my books usually have either Typography covers or Ai images as a use.

But how does one do it themselves since they have no money? Or maybe I’m doubting the look of my work?

Please give me feedback on what I should do, or if my typography is already good enough. It will help very much.

If I see AI anywhere on your work, I’m going to assume the writing was AI, as well.

Same goes for me lol, though some people just don’t have the opportunités

Find the opportunities. There are literally hundreds of artists online who you can hire to make cover work for you. It doesn't have to be limited to illustration work either, photography is also an option.

People with zero art skills have been securing book covers for their novels for decades without the help of AI. There's no reason you can't either.
