Would you read this, based on the cover?
I'm planning to write a story and publish it somewhere online. But I figured it wouldn't be worth it if no one was going to read it anyway. So I thought I could make it more appealing by combining it with some drawings. So I was wondering if you'd be interested based on the picture and title alone (Soul Beat—maybe it's still changing)? I've already written down the main points of the story and could basically start writing right away.
I’m both good. If you think about where you want to publish it, you can watch Wattpad. There you can publish free stories, also chapters for chapters and the readers get feedback.

Thanks for the tip. I haven’t heard such great things about Wattpad yet, but I’ll try it anyway. You can also upload stories in English, right?
Yes, you can
Yeah, you can. I’d be interested in what you heard negatively.
I’m quite honest: The image works immediately after publishing teenagers. If I’d see something like this as a cover, I wouldn’t want to read the book first, because I wouldn’t hope for quality.
The title is only interesting for my taste when it is an English-language story. I don’t think of superfluous barbarisms. If I read an English title and then follows a story in German, it feels inappropriate for me. As if you had tried to present the story very cool by the English title.
Presentation is important, I definitely agree. But in this way, you wouldn’t be happy with it.
I guess your main readers would also be publishing teenagers who think that would be cool or impressive because they don’t know better and have no idea of quality.
I’d advise you to focus on your story first. Write your story, let her lie for a few days and then read it 3 times and better all the mistakes you notice. Then let them be rehearsed and devastatingly criticized by strangers, then better the story accordingly and do it again. Better it out again and then you can think about the title and cover as well as the publication.
And yes, I did this with my last two books. At first, I was practically an ignorant teenager.
Thanks for the tips. And yes I am actually an ignorant teenager and wants to reach teenagers with history. (the story is in English)
But even if you want to reach teenagers, you should strive to do high-quality work.
The good stories are those that accompany us for a lifetime.
I’m glad I could help.
Really great! Next:
Thank you
No.
Thank you for your honesty
There are sign papers….
I’d rather see something on the picture. Of course, I would use drawing paper at the right cover or make it digital, I don’t know yet.
That’s the problem on the one, I’ve got a long picture of the lessons you can hardly see.
Uhm… Thanks for the answer
I don’t want to.
I actually did the sketch in class. Have you already tipped the picture to see it in better quality?
