People's brains fill in the blanks with the minimal of prompting - I promise. So just act like everyone already knows what this person looks like. The only thing you should really specify is whether this person is White, Black, Latinx, etc. - and that's to stop 'the default.'<br /><br />Ha, I a) don't think it looks cool, and b) am worried that it's cooler than my WIP - thank you so much though!

I suppose you can use them for marketing too if you've already got an established following. I don't think there's a wrong way to do them as there isn't a wrong way to express yourself creatively, it's very individual! And for the record I think your moodboad looks ridiculously cool.

I think it's possible for one person not to feel that a mood board captures a book accurately, but a lot of that would be down to the fact that books make different people feel different ways. I've loads of times had the experience of saying a book is one thing (moody and melancholy) only to have someone else assure me it was some totally different thing (lighthearted and amusing). So GO FORTH and make mood boards to your own taste. <3Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-20544216641455033622020-03-30T14:18:34.850+01:002020-03-30T14:18:34.850+01:00Like that's the thing though - will I be givin...Like that's the thing though - will I be giving a false impression of my WIP?!

If you’re a very visual person, they could really help. Also, they seem fun to make! paperbackprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446601964387517150noreply@blogger.com
