The person who commented on your first chapter and offered to make a cover for you...

Please apply a reasonable amount of caution. They may be genuine, they may be a scammer, who knows...

Ohmygosh, I offered this to someone who'd sent me a super nice DM. Then I realised I sounded like a scammer... :blob_shock:
Quickly edited to add it was for free. ?

@friesXD having a cover will help with making your work more appealing and visible to readers, but @Racosharko is right, be wary. I've had a lot of people offering unsolicited help with my story/art/character concepts etc. :blob_unsure:. I haven't read your work, but I'll say straight up - make sure you edit it so there are as few mistakes as possible. It's really distracting to read something that is full of typos/grammar errors, even if the writing/story are great.

I didn't realise SH had a 'free cover'. I saw this cover popping up constantly and thought it was one author who was an absolute MONSTER at writing and was just dropping chapters like dubstep. ?

There are (limited) free resources available to make your own cover art, just please respect copyright and ensure images are creative commons i.e. freely available for commercial use. Just 'cause it's on Pintrest doesn't make it copyright free.

Interested in stories not about farming? (Legit I was so confused by 'cultivation' initially). I have a non-farming story!

I agree with Eldoria. Maybe you write a little longer synopsis that teases a few important plot points to entice more readers :-) Like a dust cover blurb.
