Day 2 of 24 The previous titles and covers of this book are an obvious sign to me of how much I have grown as a writer and as a person. The story developed over the course of seven years as I went through high school, college, and now grad school. Yesterday, I shared my newest book cover developed by the designers at Inkitt, but I would like to share the past two book covers that I designed. The first cover is one that I created on an old photo editor when I had ZERO training in graphic design. At the time I started publishing this book on Wattpad, it was named “Keep Calm and Fall for Your Best Friend’s Brother.” I’m so disappointed that I can’t find the image of it anywhere. I must have been ashamed of how bad it was, but now I wish I had kept the file to compare to later. Basically, it was a purple border around an angsty picture of a bad boy kissing a girl with the title laid vertically on the page. Absolutely HORRIBLE, but still, I wish I had it to share now. The second cover introduced the current, snappier title “I Shouldn’t Want You” and was designed on Canva. With this title and cover, I completed the book and reworked the structure to come to an ending that my seventeen-year-old self couldn’t have predicted and wouldn’t have been satisfied with. The newest cover, although I didn’t design it, symbolizes my first thorough and complete edit of the book to the point that I could hand it off and be proud of its current state. Sure, it’s probably not perfect, but I learned so much about myself, my writing style, who I wanted to be, and what I wanted my writing to represent for readers. Again, I’m super excited to share this all with you. Please continue to follow my journey to my first publication! #inkitt #inkittbooks #inkittauthor #inkittwriter #inkittstories #wattpad #wattpadstories #wattpadauthor #wattpadwriter #wattpadromance #galateastories #galatea #galateabooks #bookstagram #books #writerscommunity #writersofig #writer #writingcommunity #writings #readingcommunity #romancebooks #romancereadersofinstagram #romance #romancenovels #firstbook #publishing #publishedauthor #publishing #bookpublishing #booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/CN8-21DgIIK/?igshid=15em6gjouu4gc
