WELP. Time to discuss something I am super excited about/maybe a bit obsessed with.
what is that?
COVERS XD.
So am I the only one who is SO EXCITED ABOUT ONE DAY GETTING UR BOOK COVER?! UGH….like it can’t get here fast enough (and the problem with that is how quickly it happens depends on me 😑)
Anywhooo I am so excited to one day get a cover! But I also started this for another question.
This is kinda just to chat about different things that may or may not be a little random rofl. Like covers, or formatting or chapter names, etc.
As for me, the question I have is, do any of y’all know any really good artists who, in the future, I could look into to making chapter headings for my book?
Ya see I have many POV Characters and I write in first person, so the persons whose POV it is will have their name at the top under the chapter number. BUT I decided it would so wonderful if I could have their silhouettes or something above.
Yea I know it’s early but again I’m excited. Also we could maybe post pics of things that inspire us (so like overs) or the way someone does their headings or titles, etc. so ya.

#ProtectSeb@godlyfantasy12 Ahh I getcha. When I’m bored I go onto Canva and make covers for my would-be books. Obviously I’m not gonna use them, haha, but it keeps me occupied and propels me forward.
I, unfortunately, do not know any artists aside from my sister. If I ditched writing I would work on my art instead, but as of today I am working on writing, so that is not happening.
Lately, it's been on my brain
Would you mind letting me know
If hours don't turn into daysI’d be willing to do headings for your book!!! If you wanted me to. Sure, this sounds like a really cool topic! I love it! <3 I have the feeling I’ll be here a lot. XD

if nothing's really real
i'll make the winter now my home@scripter-of-kingdoms Hey, it’s still early, but u can totally give it a go, or at least do it for fun! I don’t mind! Just let me know if u want to!
Im thinking like a silhouette for each character within like a circle? Let me se if I can find a pic to kinda help lol

#ProtectSeb@godlyfantasy12 I’m up for that! <3 I think I get what you’re saying. If you want I can do that later or now!
Or maybe a symbol that represents each POV character? Idk, just a suggestion ^-^

i'll make the winter now my homeSo sorta like this for a silhouette help (doesn’t have to be that style rofl, but I’d like them facing forward and look pretty or whimsical (cuz I am writing fantasy) and only if u can! (Because ur art style may not be that so 😊)

And again this is kinda a reference for the circle, obviously I don’t need it exactly like this. But maybe have a different circle for each character or maybe just a little token at the top of each circle that represents them?(For instance, for my villain it would be a Raven)
ok so that may be overwhelming and I’m sorry if so. But if u want to do it, give it a shot! If not don’t worry about it. 😉
If u do decide to. We can go one character at a time (probably starting with November since u already know how he looks, and are currently working on him!)

#ProtectSeb@scripter-of-kingdoms yea I think the silhouette with a circle, and maybe a small token representing them at the top of it. (And it doesn’t have to be super huge unless u want to go into detail, and then I can shrink it down)

You are DEFINITELY not the only one! Getting a professional book cover is literally one of the things I’m most excited about when I finally get a book published. 😂
I don’t name my chapters – I just do like Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. Lol. But with the right novel, chapter names can be really cool.
I’m not doing chapter names either, but I have multiple POVs so their names would need to be at the top of each chapter, so I’d like to have heading images for them.

#ProtectSebOk, that sounds good. 👍 I’m willing to do that if you want me to! <3 I’d be honoured if you did want me to do that! I don’t think it’s beyond my capability, lol.

i'll make the winter now my homeAaaah, I LOVE talking about this stuff!!! I’m definitely one of the writers over here like WHEN WILL I GET MY AWESOME COVER!!!??? Sadly, I don’t really know of any artists. :,( I think a lot of times it’s whoever the publishing company has that’ll do it. Sorry.
God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers.
TeenWritersNook.comOH MY GOSH, yes!!!! I LOVE THINKING ABOUT MY FUTURE BOOK COVER, and have been tempted many times to try making one on Canva! Eeek!!! Isn’t it so exciting??? Thinking about a gorgeous book cover, with the title spread over the front, sitting in a bookstore with New York Times Bestseller at the top. Or is that just me who freaks out that much? XD
AND CHAPTER NAMES? Soooooo much fun! I’m such a fan of chapter titles (although books without them are great, too!) (I also love Percy Jackson’s chapter titles so much, don’t get me started). I’m glad to see someone else shares the same enthusiasm about this lol
@scripter-of-kingdoms Alright then!! Sounds awesome!!! And yea, hey if it works out (u know, if we meld cuz sometimes u gotta wait and see) I’d totally be willing to maybe work with u later on (if agreed with by my fam and such 🤣)
But we can for now just see for fun! U wanna start with November? Maybe, somehow if u could have it look like his head is tilted slightly, that would be awesome and his symbol would be a shield with fire in it. (So like a fire emblem or something) thanks so much! I’m excited!

Cool! I’ve seen books that have done that.
