Ok, awesome!
Umā¦ Iām not sure how to explain an aesthetic, lol. I guess itās just the vibe your story gives off or even colors. I know Iāve made moodboards or aesthetics for my characters, which I fill with quotes and pictures that represent them. If you look up a certain color aesthetic (ex. pink aesthetic) you might get what I mean. Idk, I donāt think that made any sense. XD I wish I could explain it better. Maybe if you look at the othersā responses to that part it might make more sense.
Ok! Donāt worry about the blurb being anything fancy. If itās just a summary, then thatāll be fine too. (:

'For the right partner'Ahh youāre making me want to go experiment with making book covers! XD
The problem for me is that I donāt usually title any of my stories unless theyāre done (which is rare) but give me some time to create a title for one my WIPās and I might send the details your way for a mock cover!
