Hey everyone! I've decided to create this small guide to help inspiring writers out there make a start on their fan fiction. I know when I started out, I would've loved to have something like this to guide me along the way.
If you have any question...
Your story could feature on absolutely anyone's feed, that's why it is of vital importance that you create a good cover for it. Whenever I first started endgame, I created a temporary cover image but deep down, I really wasn't satisfied with it. I had spent hours pouring myself into my writing and despite it being of a good standard, the old cover was mediocre at best.
As I am not very good at photoshop, I decided to reach out to a wonderful creator who designed the current wallpaper for Endgame. I absolutely loved how it turned out. I also found that with the new cover, my reads doubled and more people found the story accessible.

My story looked a lot more professional with this cover, and it made me feel a lot happier knowing that both the cover and writing was of a good standard. One of things that is important about your cover is the tone that it emits. Erica was brilliant in using the right colour combinations and atmosphere to hint exactly what Endgame could be about. When I am looking for stories to read, the cover certainly influenced by decision.
I also wanted to bring your attention to the cover on this book. Although this is not a fan fiction, I wanted to make sure that when people came across it, it looked like something that they wanted to read.

'A guide to writing Harry Potter fan fiction' by Melanie Gipp Cover by sygmys More people will feel drawn to this story now that it has a suitable cover. As there are a lot of writers here on Wattpad, I wanted to make sure that whenever they came across this book that it was something accessible and easy to look at. This aim has successfully been achieved.
For both covers on my story, I give full credit to the brilliant Erica (who has been tagged under both covers I've included in this chapter). She is such a talented individual and has really made me feel happy about Endgame and AGTWHPFF (A guide to writing Harry Potter fan fiction). She is professional and trustworthy and if you're reading this, please give her a follow.
