Covers

Covers, the first thing people see when they look at your book. They obviously need to look static, otherwise, it might shoo people away. Of course, some very alluring un-overexaggerated titles could draw people in as well, but that's for next week.

As someone who's extremely loyal to fantasy-fiction books, if I see a cover that has a real-life person on it, I'll be instantly shooed off. Even books with animated covers that are about real-people or realistic fiction will draw me in and make me fall in love with them.

If it has a bad cover, I don't care if my favorite author (which on Webnovel is ash_knight17, go check them, their great) wrote it, I won't bate an eyelash towards it.

To sum up this short lesson due to a case of short-term writer's block (hopefully), choose a cover that fits your theme, lures in readers, and something that you're proud of.
