If you’re looking for a cost-efficient solution for your print projects, you’d want to try publishing your content into a softcover book. For self-publishers, this would be your most affordable option if the price point is a priority. They’re also versatile and quick to print, and more comfortable to carry around compared to their counterparts. If you’re a beginner writer or starter publishing company who would want to cut down costs before printing out physical copies, why not try a DIY mockup like a softcover book mockup first?

You’re in for a treat! We’ve created a collection of high-quality book mockups for your softcover books. Use any to retain the attractive design you’ve prepared for your project!
