Please stop supporting AI. It truly kills my soul every time I see it. And I know my fellow authors are feeling it too.

I had zero budget for anything except editing. I got a subscription to Adobe Stock images and Photoshop and learned how to do it myself. Ask my friend group how many versions of my cover I sent them before I was finally happy with it

Made all my covers with canva and a dream. You never have to turn to ai

Literally always a way. If an author came to me and asked me to do a cover for free, I'd do it. We'll, okay, I'd probably ask for a free copy of the book, but I feel like that is a very small price to pay 😂🤷 ai is NOT art. I'd rather read a book without a cover than one with an ai image

What do they think people did before AI existed way back about four or five years ago?

I made some of my covers with free stock images and (non AI) Canva filters+fonts 😅

I've said it before, I would literally buy a book with a cover of some cheeky stick figures before I'd buy a book with a cover made with AI. Use some crayons, upload that ish and start selling. Eff AI
