Series covers
Turn a finished cover into a book series: matching next-book covers with a consistent look and recurring characters, ordered on your shelf.

What a series does
A series links your books together and keeps their covers consistent: the next book's cover is generated from the cover you already love — same art style, same color palette, same title typography, and the same recurring characters — while showing a new scene for the new book.
Series covers are available on the Pro plan (and Enterprise). Each next-book cover uses 1 image credit, like a normal generation.
Start a series
- Open a book whose cover you're happy with (Dashboard → My Books → select the book).
- In the cover workspace, open the Edit menu next to the book title and choose Start a series.
- Name the series (we suggest one from your title) and pick the reference cover — the cover every next-book cover is generated from. Your newest cover is preselected, but any cover of the book can be the reference.
- Enter the next book's title, and optionally a short summary and a cover scene (e.g. "she walks a snowy pier at dusk").
- Select Start series & generate.
If your book's summary mentioned characters, they're carried over automatically so they stay recognizable from cover to cover. You can change the reference cover later — the picker also appears when generating the next book in an existing series.
Add the next book
For a book already in a series, the same menu shows Next book in this series. The new book inherits the author, genre, and series look; you provide the title and, optionally, the new scene.
Want a fresh composition for one book (a different layout, same identity)? Tick Vary the layout for this book before generating.
How consistency works
- The new cover is generated with your anchor cover as a visual reference, plus a description of your recurring characters.
- Consistency means your readers recognize the series and its characters at a glance — style, palette, typography, and character family. Small variations between generations are normal; regenerate if a result drifts, or generate variations of the result you like best.
- Books in a series show as Book 1, Book 2, … on your shelf, in the order they joined.
Tips
- Pick your strongest cover as the anchor before starting the series — everything else is matched to it.
- A concrete cover scene ("standing on a cliff at dawn, holding the bone compass") gives noticeably better results than leaving it blank.
- The next-book cover lands in the new book's own workspace, where all the normal tools work: variations, editing, text tools, and downloads.
