A lot that attracts readers to read your stories are book covers! Now, because I'm quite OCD with my books, I like them looking very similar with a theme to my bio, but often people don't.
For my book covers I use the app/website Canva. This is a really good app which can be used for all sorts of things like adverts, newspaper stuff etc & book covers who would have thought!
Canva is really good because you can get structured layouts already which is very easy & gives you less of a job to do. However, there is many different types of covers you can get!
Personally, when I'm making a cover I will use the section 'Poster' or 'Blog Graphic', both of these have the size to fit as the perfect wattpad cover so nothing is cropped out.

I am going to use the simple example using the section 'Poster'. I chose a simple cover with a simple font, cover etc. However, now to make it your own!

To get a background picture, I use WeHeartIt to discover & find pictures that I like. Now as I said, I like my covers having a theme, which is usually a colour scheme or a similar 'vibe'.
I typed in 'white' in the search bar to get my picture but if you want your covers looking similar, people will often create collections of themes which has very similar themed pictures which is really helpful in this case. But because I am only making one sample cover, I only had to choose one picture.
So I chose this picture to use as my background:
