How do I make my cover for my novel more professional?

Maybe make the text a little smaller so there's a bit of a larger gap between it and the sides. I'd also recommend making the word "The" smaller than the others if you're having it on a different line, and capitalising "Wars".
Odd about the imported fonts not working. What program are you using?

oh I like this a lot better! It's much easier to see the details of the wings and all that. I'd perhaps play with a color on the font or try out an outline to make it easier to see when it's small (like make sure to check how it looks at like 200 px, too, because that's how it'll be seen on the phone) But that's up to you.

Thanks and yeah I down sized it a few times to check! For the wings i went as far as looking up hawk wings and using some of their markings!
