Partnership Proposal

AI-Generated
Book Imagery
for Every Author

A visual content service designed to sit inside your publishing process — giving authors launch-ready imagery with zero delivery overhead for your team.

The Opportunity

Authors need visual content
for their launch

Bookmagic AI gives them the words. But posts without imagery get ignored — and most authors have nothing to work with beyond their book cover.

No professional imagery beyond the cover design
DIY content looks inconsistent and unprofessional
Hiring a photographer is expensive, slow, and overkill
AI-generated imagery fills this gap — fast, affordable, on-brand
The Service

Professional book imagery,
generated with AI

Each book is treated as a hero product. Authors complete a short brief. We deliver a full bank of launch-ready visuals in distinct styles matched to their brand.

Distinct visual styles tailored to each book
Colour palette matched to cover and brand
Optimised for LinkedIn, Instagram, and Stories
5-day delivery from brief submission
One brief, one delivery — no ongoing management
Complements Bookmagic AI — words + visuals
