Generate Midjourney Prompts for Book Cover Designs | AI-Powered Tool

FAQ

What is the Book Cover Prompt Generator?

The generator is an online form that converts your narrative details into a single Midjourney prompt, ensuring key themes, mood and style appear in one command (Page title, https://yourdomain.com).

How does it work?

The form submits data to the WordPress action process_llm_form. A server-side script concatenates your inputs with weighting phrases and returns plain text you can paste into Midjourney (WordPress Dev Handbook, 2023).

Which fields are required?

You must supply Genre, Main Themes, Mood/Tone and Key Imagery. Optional fields fine-tune style but are not mandatory; leaving them blank yields broader AI interpretation (Tool documentation, 2024).

Can I edit the prompt after generating?

Yes. Copy the output, tweak wording, add Midjourney parameters like “–ar 2:3” for paperback trim size, then submit inside Discord (Midjourney Quick Start, 2023).

What image size should I request from Midjourney?

Use “–ar 2:3 –v 5” for a 1536 × 2304 px upscale, giving enough bleed for a 6 × 9-inch cover at 300 dpi (IngramSpark, 2021).

How much does a custom cover normally cost?

Traditional freelance designers charge $300–$1500 depending on complexity; agency packages exceed $2,500 (Reedsy Marketplace Report, 2023).

Is the generated prompt copyright-free?

Your text inputs remain yours. Midjourney grants you a Creative Commons-style licence for images if you hold a paid plan (Midjourney ToS, 2023).

How do I keep a series consistent?

Reuse identical seed values and repeat motifs in every prompt; vary only accent colours or symbols. “Consistency starts with a locked palette and seed,” notes IngramSpark’s design guide (IngramSpark, 2021).
