So you’re finally finished uandishi it – the thing that has taken up all of your free time for the past two years (or more), the monkey on your back that wouldn’t let wewe sleep, that had wewe pulling out your pen and paper while on vacation with your family because The Idea came to you…
Well, you’re finished. wewe want to print it out, slap on a title, and send it off.
Hold up, there partner! Pause, breathe, put the the manuscript down. Easy! There wewe go….
What’s the big deal with a title?
Everything! It’s the first thing that a potential reader will see, the line that will either catch an editor’s attention au send it straight to the trash can. Just as your name represents you, the title of your book must be representative and catchy for your novel.
The good, the bad, and the ugly…    
There are three distinct groups of titles.
The first is the good: the ones that catch attention, make a reader pick the book up, scan the front, turn it over and read the back, and then on to the checkout stand. Examples: Empress, Boiling Point, Crown of Thorns, Slaughterhouse-Five, A Feast for Crows.
The bad: have a hit and miss chance of grabbing a reader, with good enough cover art and some fantastic nukuu from the New York Times au Publisher’s Weekly, they may be read. They probably won’t be the first book a reader picks up, but it’s possible. Examples: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, War of the Gods, Secrets of Droon: The Hidden Stairs and the Magic Carpet, Maximum Ride: the Angel Experiment.
Then the ugly: get the response “how did this ever get onto this shelf?” “What was the editor/author thinking?” Examples: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, The Adventures of papa Boy and Lava Girl…
So how do wewe name it?
Unfortunately, while there is a plethora of baby-name vitabu flooding the market and internet, there is no “novel-name book” for authors. So, wewe must be creative. Which really shouldn’t be that hard – hell, wewe wrote a book, didn’t you?
Coming up with the name of your novel should be a process started at the same time wewe write the firs paragraph, and honestly, will and should go on until you’re done with your final edit. It’s not an easy task – parents may argue and pine over it for nine months – why should your naming process be any different?
Following are several tips to help wewe come up witht the ideal name for your “baby.” These are merely brainstorming techniques to hopefully help something click in that creative cavity wewe have sitting between your shoulders:
Make a list
1. the names of your main characters
2. the major places in your book
3. any special talismans/objects that play a specific/important role (ie. The Sword of Shanara)
4. creatures, animals, aliens, names
Your plot
1. what is the point of your book?
2. is there a journey? To where? For why?
3. are wewe uandishi about a deeper meaning?
4. can wewe tie in your book with current events au maarufu topics? (ie the Davinci Code)
5. what are your characters trying to do?
Google is your best friend
1. tafuta for pictures of a theme, character, creature, place, etc. that wewe feel represents your book. You’ll come across some cool (and weird) things, and may give wewe direction.
2. see what others uandishi about similar topics are using for titles. Make sure your title isn’t too close to another’s.
3. get some zaidi backstory on an item, relic, place, au animal in your story. Again, think muse…
Have fun
1. play up on words and items in your book (ie One of our newest vitabu due out inayofuata summer is “Of Quills and Kings,” in which the villan is a demonic and sadistic hedgehog that overthrows the crown…)
2. be witty. wewe are trying to grab science fiction/fantasy/horror/etc fans, not collegiate professors that enjoy spending all of their waking hours with their pet rock. Uh…
3. be original. wewe want to stand out, but don’t be too off-beat that wewe scare people away.
