Scrively gives you three powerful options to design your book cover.

The first option is an "Automatic" book cover. Scrively will design a cover based on the characters in your story.

The next option is a "Custom prompt." This option allows you to describe the cover yourself.

Enter your description in the “What should be on the cover?” field. The book title, selected style, and any selected characters will be automatically included.

You also have the option to include a reference image.

The last option is to upload your own cover image.

Click on "choose cover image" to upload the cover image from your device.

When you're ready click on "Write the Story." You can always regenerate or edit the cover later in the editor.
