Are you interested in self-publishing, but don't want to overcomplicate your design process? Canva is here to help! You can create lots of fantastic book designs in Canva, despite it not being dedicated book-design software. In this course, I'll walk you through step-by-step how to plan, set up, and design your book interior in Canva so that it is ready to export and upload to a platform like Amazon KDP.

Canva is great for lots of types of books - poetry books, picture books, cookbooks, travel guides, journals, workbooks, and more. However, it may not be ideal if your project has long passages of text that need to run across multiple pages - like a novel or non-fiction manuscript. Check out the first lesson for my advice on this!

All you will need for this course is a project in mind and a free Canva account. You get a lot of creative freedom with this project, so feel free to create something really unique!

It's important to design your book interior before your cover file when self-publishing paperback books because the number of pages in your interior will determine the width of your book spine. This class focuses just on the first step, which is designing your interior. When you're done, check out my course called "Design a Paperback Journal Cover in Canva", which can be applicable to all book types (not just journals!)
