All you have to do is key in the text. Font choice would be a problem however. Scribus has just a limited selection for the LaTeX exit.
If I were designing the TeX exit for Scribus I wouldn't have chosen LaTeX. That's doing it the hard way. Plain pdftex or tex have less baggage. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
