Book Design in Affinity Publisher Training Course

Affinity Training Courses with CanvaIf you’re looking to self publish or design books for print on demand or kindle then our Affinity Publisher Book Design Course is ideal.

Unlike the Affinity Publisher Advanced course which assumes you have prior knowledge this course takes you from the initial setup and layout of both the interior and exterior (cover pages /spine) inserting text and graphics. 

It then guides you through the necessary protocols, setup, sizing and ISBN registration needed to publish for digital and print on demand with Amazon /KDP or Ingram Spark.
