Join me on a journey of discovery about how AI is currently being used to create book covers.
Over at designer Maria Sinclair’s old site, the Cover Vault, you could buy sets of premade covers. Lots of indie authors use premades to save money. This one, about Regency Orcs, cost $1350 for 6 covers.
Until October, Sinclair had a section on her website that explained how she used AI in her covers, including tracing and integrating AI elements with stock.
However now when you look, the Cover Vault is gone, and her Mariah Sinclair website has no mention of AI whatsoever, anywhere.
But it’s the same covers.

Here we have an author who is flooding Zon with AI generated works.
She’s following the 20Booksto50K rapid release model. For most that’s ~5 books/year. However with the help of AI, she’s churning out new “content” every single day.
New art, made for free, and sold on Amazon.
The goal of low content, passive income model is to flood the subgenre with so many titles a KU reader will try your book, because the covers look similar enough to a book they loved or Amazon suggested it bc of the same keywords.
I love werewolf books and have read so many it would be a very long list of recommendations.
But I’ve decided to go in a different direction. Namely: wolf dicks
Today I’ll be exploring Omegaverse fiction.
First off, Omegaverse: what is it?
OV is a fiction genre set in worlds where there’s a biological hierarchy of Alphas, Betas and Omegas. Each dynamic has certain characteristics related to werewolf elements such as knotting and estrous, or heat cycles.
Omegaverse can be traced back to 2010 in the Supernatural fandom. It was an extension of the werewolf MM fanfic and a writing prompt featuring Jared and Jensen (J2).
