Book Brush offers authors access to and the ability to easily create some of the most common marketing elements including: Facebook ad design, book covers, 3d book covers (before the book is even published), animations, and access to templates and stock photography & illustrations. Authors can do this with needing access to specialized graphics programs and without needing deep design skills. Kathleen will give us a tour of how it all works.
