	Some Tips	816 giorni fa
	What in your opinion is the best way to make your author profile, interesting an exciting? Well, it helps to have some decent writing on there, but first you want to entice your potential reader in. +++Try finding a relevant and eye-catching picture for the profile. If you can't find one, make it yourself! I made my Scorch book cover in Photoshop, using bits of pictures I found on the internet. +++Think of an interesting title. Even if you don't intend to always keep it for your book, something like "Enter Destiny" or "The Magical Sword of Bob" is always going to attract more interest than "A Fantasy Story" or "No Title Yet". You can always think of a proper title later, so for now, go with a temporary one (working title). +++Find a nice background for your profile. Those white and orange default ones are hell ugly! So search the skins pages for something that reflects the mood you want in your book. Or make your own, if you have the patience. +++Make the info at the top of the profile interesting and relevant. First, maybe give an tiny extract from the book, e.g. quote a line you think is particularly interesting. Then give a brief synopsis, but never NEVER give too much away! Then if you want, give a little info about your inspiration, how long you've been writing it etc. +++Make sure the writing is presentable. If you type it in something like Micros. Word first, the auto Spellcheck should take out the worst of any errors. The formatting on the writing when you actually put it on Bebo kinda sucks, but we can't do much about that. +++If you want any help with editing etc, leave a comment here and I'll try and find somebody to help you out.

	A relevant flash box and a blog thats updated regularly gives a good impression, even if no one looks at them.

	i also find for some reason that I'm more drawn to pages where the title (that you see on the featured page) has capital letters in the right places... rather than not at all...

	Too right, and I'll stop reading if the grammar is atrocious all the way through. If I have to read the first sentence three times to make any sense of it then I'm going to get bored.
