What makes a great memoir and biography cover
A memoir cover is personal. Warm colors, honest type and often a photo of you or a meaningful place help readers trust the story before they open it.
- Add your own photo: a memoir with a real face sells the story.
- Warm, natural colors feel honest and personal.
- Classic serif fonts give a timeless feel.
- Keep the subtitle short and clear about what the story is.

Should I put my photo on my memoir cover?
Often yes. A real photo of you, or of a place that matters in the story, makes a memoir feel personal. You can add one to any template.
What size photo do I need for a book cover?
Enough pixels for 300 DPI at print size. For a 6 by 9 inch front cover that's about 1,838 by 2,775 pixels. Our free DPI checker tells you.
Will these templates fit my book's spine?
Yes. Each template is built on your book's real cover size, so the spine matches your page count and paper for KDP, IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble Press or Lulu.
