Give your posts some visual flair
Even though your readers may be a bit more word-forward than your average internet user, you still need to ensure that your site is visually interesting if you want to capture readers’ attention.

Using images of the cover you find online could get you into copyright trouble, so consider taking your own photographs. You can use simple photos of the cover or include simple props, but keep the focus on the book and avoid clutter. You can also create custom graphics using popular design tools like Canva.
