Scale that reads as sci-fi
Vast compositions and futuristic light are the genre's shorthand for big ideas — built into the default output, not something you have to over-describe.
Subgenre-specific in one prompt
Cyberpunk noir, space opera, hard sci-fi and dystopian YA each have distinct visual codes — name yours and the generator matches it.
A concept cover before the concept is finished
Generate cover directions early enough to inform your query letter or crowdfunding page, not just the finished manuscript.
The old way vs. with AI
The output is the same — professional visuals. The difference is what it costs you to get there.
