1 The dialogue ending - finish the story with a quote from one of your characters.

2 The humor ending - finish is with a funny line or generally funny stop to the novel.

3 The moral ending - an ending where you learn a lesson and see the character's development.

4 The question ending - end the story in such a way that readers will question what happens next.

5 The image ending - create a visionary for the readers, whether it be the setting or a fantasy land, maybe even your character dying; show, don't tell.

6 The surprise ending - a last minute plot twist, maybe add a sequel to the story.

7 The infamous cliff-hanger - end on something that will leave your readers at the very edge of their seats.

8 The circle ending - the story does a full on roundabout and lands right back at the beginning.
